quick question: Window regulators (1 Viewer)

[lunyou]

In the front doors, can you just flip the passenger side window regulator to make it a drivers side windwo regulator.

I ask for two reasons, mainly b/c someone PMed me about needing the drivers side and I don't have one readily available. But I do have a passenger side. The second is b/c I have two rear window regulators and I cannot tell the difference so I assumed(possibly wrong?) that they are interchangable side-to-side.

No you cant swap them, they're opposites.

Pretty sure hes correct.

Easy fix: Put the crank on the outside of the door.

okay that is what I was looking for. I knew the were opposites but if they are mirrored opposites you might could flip it over. I am pretty sure you can do this with the rear doors.

You can flip the regulator, but you have to drill out the rivet for the sector gear and reweld it on the new side. I don't have pics. But, it is possible. I've done it.
