Title: window regulator for drivers door Post by: surferboy on November 22, 2012, 11:49:03 PM Looking for replacement window winding regulator to fit drivers door
I've worn out another one ::) The teeth are razor sharp pointy things and keep slipping and jamming so you can't move the window. >:( I've resorted to driving my wagon around with the door panel off so I can juggle bits around to move the window ! Is it possible to modify the regulators from any of the other doors ??? If it is.. could somebody post instructions (with pictures would be good ) as I would have to get someone else to do the modification for me (unless you can do it with one bent screwdriver and a hammer with a loose head... I'm not much of a DIY type ) I have replaced the drivers door unit 3 times now. But using 2nd hand ones, they really don't last very long on my daily driver. Does anybody produce a replacement one Or can a new one from a different model car be used ?

I would not think there is a stronger unit than an old holden unit. Some have done electric conversions but I think they too will start breaking teeth ect. Why not pull one apart From a rear door and either make the arm longer or try get the gears from a rear as most have had a lot less use. Also your channel alignments are a major contributing part I read the manual to help me work on getting it to slide up the channel smooth without a winder installed. I used a piece of 3mm plastic and a hammer tapping the plastic into the channel to make sure the Bailey channels were set in properly. I also used lynx deodorant with 'graphite' I know it sounds silly but as mentioned elsewhere this stuffs great for locks ect as well it goes on dry and lubricates. Good luck Pete |
