I agree. I used to think who needs such decadent luxury, but since they came with my latest car, and have been in my wife's, I've acclimated to a nice convenience.

Also, when the motors fail, they're really not that difficult to replace. Of course, if they fail down, and it's raining or gonna...well, Roswell's got a point their. Discreet over-ride portals that disengage the pinions of the electric motor and allow for manual crank that resides in the glove box. They're ya go.
