My D2 is a 1999 build so 19 years old..

🤨 ahh! there ya go - i told you so !

Wellllll,,, that rear had probably operated at a ten to one ratio compared to drivers window,,
so if the planned obsolescence is done via unit cycles the fronts should have been replaced quite a few times by now


and they are still original...

hmmmm

Not so much planned obsolescence but more planned life expectancy.

Build to meet a certain timeline at minimum. Like engines etc..
