I bought the clips from regulatorfix
Good idea to replace them at the same time as they're cracking... ![]() Not sure why regulstorfix didn't make it metal like OEM The only problem with OEM is that the inside piece is plastic, not metal. To those to replaced the window regulator clips, how did you put back the two tips with springs? I can't seem to be able to put those tips back into the clip. |

Leave the cable off of one of the pulleys, place the cable ends in their notches, then "roll" the cable back onto the pulley.

This whole repair is trickier than it should be. If you did it very often it'd probably get easier but there are a lot of little things that can make the job easier or just as easily go wrong.
the most recent thing i have seen happening is the plastic framing and brackets ripping off the door panel when removing it. i use the tan jb weld plastic epoxy and it works great to reattach, but you have to rough up the plastic and slick old glue still on the door. adds a lot of time to the process. and i always come out of this repair with at least one bleeder on my knuckles. if you get it all back together and there are no rattles at the stoplight the next morning, you call that a win. but no-rattle is no easy.

I just replaced both the front and rear passenger side regulator. They both snapped (the cable) in the same week. I had replaced the front one a few years ago, I think the rear one was OEM but I am not sure.
I again got the cheapest ones from Ebay/Amazon. However this time I have added a copious amount of CV joint grease to the cable, and they seem to work better. Only time will tell. |
