Window Regulator

[tomdietrying]

Anyone know what comparable part can substitute for our OME window regulator?
Peace.

I'll be watching this thread.

I need a replacement for the driver's side. Actually may need the vertical guide. The white bushings on mine are worn & wobbly which keeps me from getting the window positioned just right to prevent wind noise.

Tom,

I just replaced my drivers side regulator with the one from vt_mav's old Foxfire. I noticed that those plastic guides were damaged on my old one. I'm going to see if I can come up with a kit to upgrade those. I'll keep you posted.

As you've seen in the past though - don't hold your breath waiting on me. If you source a replacement ... go for it.

VXorado and I found a workable one in some other Isuzu in the junkyard, but it took a looooong time. There are quite a few of them out there, and it seems most of them are wrong. Sadly, I didn't pay any attention whatsoever to what machine I finally ended up taking the parts from. Jon might remember.

For what it is worth, the plastic on all of them was brittle if not already broken. Still, it seems to be okay if the block part is broken so long as the clip is still there to hold onto the rail. Note that the SBC window fix MIGHT cause that clip to fail quicker if the bracket is hitting the top of the track and pushing the trolley off the rail.

Man, where is Ldub or Sue on this subject? I know they have the answer.
Peace.

Tom, I think Sue is selling a window regulator in another thread. Maybe shoot her a PM because I can't find the thread right now.

Thanks Mark! Doing it right now.
Peace.

Has anyone come up with a replacement for the plastic clip that attaches the window to the regulator? Isuzu tells me that it only comes as part of the window. Amazing. The window is fine... just need the 2-cent piece of plastic that is glued to the window and bolts to the regulator.

What happened to the guy that was making the metal replacements...can't think of the name off the top of my head....

PS - On the regulator, do Trooper or Rodeo regulators work?

BTW...From what I can see/tell, the regulators are the problem. If the regulators weren't plastic, I don't believe those plastic window clips would receive the lateral play necessary to break them.

Having another regulator would be the best option IMO.

I haven't taken off my door panel to actually look at the window regulator, but I have bought the VX window clips from streetboutiquecustoms.com. Will those solve the problem or just help it a bit.
Peace.

Here's a possibility....

Tim Parker of StreetBoutiqueCustoms.com
Makes the metal brackets toreplace the small white plastic ones that attach to the glass.
I happen to live in his vicinity so I had him install them in my truck, there's pics in my gallery of him doing it and shows what they look like.
MANY of us have bought thee from Tim, and it almost always (but not all) solves the window binding problem. Charges about $65 for a set of 2.

Also makes Metal replacement knobs for the 4 plastic knobs on the spare tire cover.


There's a Passenger side Regulator on ebay for $49 (it's listed as a lock actuator...but that's apparently wrong..the pic is of a regulator)

For reference:
Here's pics of both Driver and Passenger Regulator. One laying on bubble wrap is brand new Passenger side, other one is Driver side - used, and still has the window motor attached.

ON pic #2, it appears the white plastic pulley type thing in one of the corners on the used one has partially broken off....yet it appears it still functions that way???
