I've replaced many window regulators due to cable failure at plastic areas of the assembly (and multiple on same door/same car) and have 2 questions:

1) Is there a brand of aftermarket regulator that fails the least? (OEM fails too, so that's not an option here)

2) Since my window shattered when the latest one failed, is there any solution to cushioning or dampening the "free fall" of the window when the regular does fail?

For Item 2, I was thinking maybe a rubber ball in the inside of the bottom door structure. All failures, so far, have been the cable "letting go" near the plastic pulley and cable alignment end-piece.

Thanks...
