"Farm" repair for window regulator
Last year around thanksgiving my passenger window stopped going up without some help. On Christmas eve my wife got home from a short two mile hop with the window refusing cooperate. I got some brackets for this repair off Ebay quite a long time ago and on Christmas morning I was up early and decided to have a quick go at it.
The bracket is probably not a long term fix but until I have time to take the door apart and install the new regulator that sits in my garage, it should hold. The driver's door has had this bracket in for two years now I believe. Still have to order the driver's side regulator. Probably living on borrowed time there....
The bracket hooks on to the regulator cable. It has a small tab that is meant to keep the cable in place but that makes it difficult to install and doesn't look very strong either. I just remove the tab and install a couple of zip ties. See pictures below.
