Hi,
I recently acquired an Acura MDX 2012 and am working through some repairs. I am starting with some basic maintenance (oil and tranny fluid) and now ready to replace the rear driver window regulator as it struggles going up. Can anyone please offer advice on which company makes a reliable regulator. I'm not new to DIY but new to the Acura world so may need a little bit of advice on reliable aftermarket parts. My other car is a 2013 Audi S5 which I take to HPDE events 2-3 times a year so I'm comfortable with most non-transmission repairs.

On a side note, I am about to replace brakes, rotors and a fluid flush. Looking to use Centrix rotors and stop tech pads. Figure that should be good combo for a car that will be doing road trips fully loaded but no towing. Any reason why I am mistaken with my plan?

 

www.oemacuraparts.com for OEM


or go to www.rockauto.com for some solid aftermarket options.

the latter would be great for brakes as well. they have amazing pricing

 

I have perused both sites prior to starting this thread. I will be getting the Centric Rotors from Rockauto.
As for the window regulator, there is really only 1 brand option "World Power Systems" Is this brand reliable?
Also, what is weird is that the rear left assembly costs $35.79 while the rear right one costs $59.89. What's the deal with that?

Well the alternative is 200 bucks

so both look fantastic at that point.

 

That's no joke of a price difference, but I would rather drop $200 now as opposed to $40 now and then 1-2 years later needing to replace it again and this time dropping $200. Plus there are a ton of after market regulators/motors out there which is why I ask the question. Was hoping someone had some experience with this brand "World Power Systems" before I ordered it.

 

FYI, just to recap, I decided on rock auto. Rotors and regulator arrived pretty quickly. I installed the rotors and brakes without issue. Next week will do the regulator. Thanks for the help.
