Unfortunately while the bushing might be a good preventive, unless a vendor installs them doing an exchange rebuild am more inclined to believe few will take advantage. Due to the difficulty of access for that kind of work, doubt many owners will be proactive. Realistically, I expect the failed motors are going to be the norm.

Doubt there is going to be enough demand to have new armature shafts or pinion gears made for those that do fail unless they also fit a GM product. Barring the miracle of someone deciding to reproduce the motors or pieces, finding something that will replace what is going to become a more expensive and hard to find item would be the way I would like to see things go.

Mechanical will be the issue. Electrical will most likely be easily solved with a couple of relays worked by our original switches.
