Default Quarter Window Regulator (Again)

Approximately 2 years ago, I removed the right rear (US Passenger) Quarter Window Regulator on my '01 XKR Silverstone as it failed and sent to Window Regulator USA.

I replaced it and it worked for approximately 2 years of little use. This car rarely gets driven and I'd estimate over the 2 year period I put the top down a total of 12-15 times at most after testing.

I tried to contact Window Regulator USA and it appears they are out of business as the website just says it's "Under Maintenance" after repeat checks.

WhiteXKR recommended buying the part through JPAM at the time, in hindsight it appears I should have done that instead of rebuilding as the rebuild didn't last as long as I hoped. Gaudin reports on their site the part is no longer available. (Part#GJE2242AE)

Any other ideas or sources out there? Really don't want to do this again if I have to... I know I can't be the only one as they are commonly reported as being a flimsy design that flexes causing the pulley to slip the cable.
