A lot of guys used these in the Subaru world, and there were always a few threads about the motor failing. I can't speak to the quality and weatherproofing of the install, though.

Yea that's why I mentioned that the manual ones are a whole lot more reliable/cheaper too but it dose require wiring the push /pull switch to the cabin which was the harder part of the install.
