Bout a week ago the roller in the rear vertical window track on the passenger side decided to let go an rendered my window useless., I was able to find some replacements through a local mopar stealership but will take 4-5 business days to come in. =\

Anyway, I was wondering if while I'm already in the door should I replace my regulators/motors or just make sure they're well lubed?

As far as I could tell they worked well enough until it jumped ship but the tracks/motor did have a corroded like flim on it, like corroded aluminum.

I bought enough parts to redo both doors for preventative maintenance and had considered new motor/regulator assemblies as they would only be about $100 for both sides.
 
If you've taken it apart, which I assume you have, just replace what is broke. Use your judgement on how the motors were performing if you should replace them or not. If you see them failing in the next year, I'd replace them if the bank account says it's ok.
