Re: my post on 4-30 asking for help with a broken rear quarter window mechanism:
Purchased a reconditioned regulator from www.regulatorsusa.com (http://www.regulatorsusa.com/) as recommended by Joric Lebaron. Unit arrived in about five days, very reasonable price. Removed the inop regulator exactly as described by madmanmapper and as outlined in the Lebaron Factory Repair Manual. Put the new one in same way. :smile:
One minor problem. The rebuilt unit had some loose pop rivets holding the upper brackets, and this allowed enough motion to cause interference with the door window. Managed to tighten some of the rivets by screwing a sheet metal screw into them to spread them, but this didn't work on one of the brackets. Had to remove the window lift mechanism and drill out the loose pop rivets and replace them with #8 machine screws with nuts and lock washers.
Then, also, the mounting brackets have adjustment sliders that are tightened with bolts accessible when the back seat and quarter panel are out. Took some trial and error adjustments to get the new rear quarter assembly to work without interference with the door window.
