I've had two gm driver's side regulator/motors now on my 30k miles 03Z06. Within a year after second one, you would have to bump door to get it to make contact and go down. I finally had to remove door panel and knock the crap out of the motor to make contact and go down, and that problem has gone away. Now it is creaking a whole bunch trying to go down, more so when "cold". I suppose that's a regulator problem, not repairable. Do I need to go ahead and just buy a new regulator/motor and if so, from who?

The RockAuto prices were very good for Delco units, looks like I will go ahead and order them and have them on hand. It still irritates the crap out of me that a GM part only a few years old will corrode to the point you have to replace them or remove and clean up the contacts.
Thanks for the replies.
