window problem
The other day my fell. I thought that it was off track cause I could hear the window trying to go up but that wasn;t the problem. I took it to the shop and they said that it was the motor part of the regulator. They're going to charge me 120 for 2 windows. Is that fair? Oh yeah, this is with the parts and labor.

I would almost certainly think it is a regulator and not the motor. Very common problem. There is lots of information in the stickies about it.
you can buy brand new regulators for about $60 each shipped and do it yourself. It takes less than an hour each.
Somehow it sounds odd that they would charge so little. My local dealership quoted me $275 parts and labor to replace one regulator.

It's a lot easier to replace a window regulator than a door. Like I said, it takes about an hour the first time you do it. Now, I could replace one in probably 30 minutes.
You can order them from Internetautomart on this site or go to ebay. I just checked and they have gone down in price to around $30-$50.
This one even comes with a motor for $52.45 shipped: ebay driver door regulator with motor
Even if you get a door for $50, the odds are that it has the stock regulator and that will go out, too. Plus, you would have to find one the same color -- or paint it. That's a lot of work.
