ANOTHER ? about -40 doors

[phlyfish]

I am sick of the window regulator in my 40. I have broken two on the drivers door. Do the later doors have better hardware for the regulator.

I am considering looking for a set to put on my 72' and making half doors from my original doors.

Anyone know of a set?

never had a problem with the early door window cranks. I would say they are as good or better then the latter door stuff, as the early is metal, the later has some plastic bits in it.

yea, i have greased it up nicely, and nothing.
it just sounds like the gears are skiping. but i think one of the reasions is that that window channel is all old and crusty.

the gears do get worn down.. you can usually get scratch and dent new aftermarkets from specter for about $35.

do the windows slide easily up and down? you could be getting unusual fast wear if it is being "forced"

the window chan needs replaced. I was just wasn't all that impressed w/ the aftermarket ones I got from $OR. I will replace the window chan and then put a new set in and see if that helps.

 

[paranoid56]

yea, let us know where you get the channel, as i did not like SORs stuff

it sounds like your regulator is just worn out...same thing on my ds window.

the gear just gt eaten up over time, nothing you can do really. other than find a better one from somebody...and i've been lookin for a while...
