RE: [DMCForum] Window regulator

Rich, sometimes they are cheaper by the pair. I need a driver's side and you
need a passenger side. You dig what I'm getting at?

Subject: [DMCForum] Window regulator

I spent today installing a window motor to my existing regulator. The 
passenger window hasn't rolled down since I owned the car. The new 
motor was a free donor so it was worth a try.

The worm gear was rusted to the metal tube of the regulator. For lack 
of anything better to do, I spent the afternoon freeing it with PB 
Blaster, cleaning it up and greasing it.

For reasons I can't see, the motor binds when it's screwed down flush 
and tight to the regulator. The only way I can get it to work is to 
shim up the bottom screw with a washer and not over-tighten the top 
screw. If you're looking at it from the side, the motor is cocked 
sort of downward to keep the gears from skipping. Even then, it still 
binds sometimes and I have to rap the door to free it up.

Any ideas?

This is just to get me by until after Pigeon Forge. I've opted to 
repair my A/C over fixing the window. After that, I'll get the new, 
whamo-dyne metal regulator/motor assembly.
