Sounds as if they were binding from the get go.  It's funny.  Here's what I've been through.



My passenger door actuator is the original to the car.  The original driver side took a  about 5 years ago.  I ordered a replacement from the dealer.  It lasted 9 months and the motor burned out.  $135 down the drain.  I then found the LMR ones.  First one lasted a while before some moisture got down into the rod and froze it up.  I think this was from leaving the window cracked by mistake one night while it rained.  Second one is currently on car.  I made sure and greased the rod before install.  So far, so good.
