Window regulator and motor

[Bru]

I wanted to see if lubing the tracks would help my driver's side window situation. While I was down there lubing it up I noticed there was a lot of slack in one of the cables. Does that indicate the regulator is shot?

I've never torn into the window that far before so wanted to double check before I order one. Morad has a motor/regulator in stock I may pick up.

Unless, James, you have one for a driver's side coupe in your inventory. I promise I'll come by and pick it up at the garage this time.

The window goes up just fine but won't go down without some force or if I pull the weather stripping away from the window.

I hate window regulator installs.

the motor spool/guides are worn out
the guids are likely worn into more of a V than a gentle U so tend to clamp the cable and slow it down/draw more current.

nah i dont got any in stock
the aurora junkyard has plenty including a few wrecks that your pretty much gauranteed to find a good one...
they even had several good batterys on the table near the yard entrance if you wanna hotwire em to see if they work

Awesome. Been looking for an excuse to go to the junkyard.

Funny you say that because I just got mine replaced on Tuesday.

Any of these GP's at you pull it have headlights? I don't even need corners.

IIRC when I recently did one, the whole assembly at Advance was under $90. All assembled and ready to drop in. The extra money might be worth your time.

we have a new motor and regulator assembly for 130 at Napa under tcg

I don't know how they work for GP's but i got motor and regulator assemblies off Ebay for my back windows and they are fine... then again i only count on them to hold up the back windows as i don't really ever have anyone sit back there.

Just checked their website and didn't see any $90 ones but will give them a call.

Debating between an eBay unit and morad used oem right now.

I have a drivers side motor/regulator combo sitting in the garage. I picked it up, but the issue ended up being the window itself(bracket came off the glass, so the carrier moved, but the window didn't). It is just 4 bolts to the door frame, and 2 to the window for install (might be a few extras to mount the motor)

$50 obo and it's yours

WANT. Thanks, Dave. I'll be around this weekend. Maybe we can arrange a trade off.

Is it the same for coupe and sedan?

It might be different, I forgot you had a coupe... I'll look now

 

[02BlueGT]

FUCK they are different,

LF 4dr is DORMAN Part # 741647
LF 2di is DORMAN Part # 741810

But Rock auto has them for $35 for the cheap model, and $61 for the dorman

 

[Bru]

The coupe is a little more expensive but $75 is still a good deal IMO for a new Dorman unit.

And Amazon has it for $10 cheaper and free shipping. Sorry, Rock Auto.
