How long do I have?

My window is going up slowly and today it was clicking and stopped. I shut the car off and then tried again, and it went up. I'm thinking I have maybe 2-3 more times of use before the regulator is dead...think it'll be sooner?

mine acted like that once, so i stopped using the window.

closed my door one night, and the window went down, never to come up again

had to cover the window with a bag and get a new motor/regulator
