The only thing I have heard which has steered me away from them. Is one, you cannot roll down the passenger side window from the drivers side and two: People get in and try to use them to rolldown the window and they break.
Can't say I have seen it in person and I don't know that its a chronic issue. Just a commented issue by various rando's on the bronco forums.I have not heard about these breaking but I guess they could. We sell a lot of them. I think you would have to be really trying hard. The levers make a noticeable click when you move the handle up or down. The inability to control the pass side from drivers side is just reality with this style. If that really matters you could go normal switches instead.

You know, you may have been one of the people I was thinking of that had problems. Thanks for posting again.I installed these about a year ago. Easy install, especially after doing the first side.
I went with the electric crank option. It works but not as well as the modified version ICON uses on their builds.
I don't think WH sells this add-on, but if you go with the cranks, there is an option to add a 3rd button to operate the passenger window from the drivers side. It's on the Nu-Relics website. Very handy.
The passenger trying to roll down the elective crank is real. My wife did it a few days after I installed it. It didn't break it but it's never been the same.
If I were to do it again, I would go with the traditional electric buttons and locate them out of sight on the center console.

The switch option can be located in the center console and would not be visible. Up to you.I'm not using the cranks because I think they're cute/cool, I'm going to use the window cranks because I don't like the look of the switch option retrofitted onto the door panel. The abandoned hole at the original crank location just doesn't suit me.
I haven't seen the "modified ICON version". Do you have any photos/info on those?

cover the panel in fabric or vinyl, softens the feel and adds a nice touch of custom.Yes, but that doesn't resolve the issue with an abandoned hole in your door panel.
