WTB: passenger side window regulator

[Chamonix72]

Hi everyone. On our way back from Mid-America the passenger window regulator gave its last. I am wondering if anyone out there has a good used one I can buy. Please let me know if you have one and what it would cost to ship to 78660.

You mean the one that never breaks?  I won the new one that Mike Pugh donated to the door prizes so it's only fair that you get it.  PM me your address and I'll it over to you compliments of Mike and I.

That is tremendous! This is the best community ever! At least let me cover shipping!

Strange but my passenger regulator broke before the drivers side did. I wonder if they get stiff from lack of use and then break due to the extra stress put on them when they are "forced" up or down?

I wouldn't doubt that.  The lubricant in the tracks also dries out and might become a sticking point.

My driver side is smooth as silk. Passenger was a smidge notchy, but not bad. My wife was on the phone with the dog sitter and put some extra pressure on the crank, so it’s her fault. The sun visor bracket on her side broke too. LOL

Is there a pattern here?. My wife bent my car's antennae in anger (I forgot to tell her that I was buying an 02 project car). When I told her that was a $50 part I would have to replace, she called a temporary truce with my project car that has lasted for 6 years. She refused to ride in it, so my replacement window regulator is safe.

These are actually the first two things she has broken. She loves riding in the car (as evidenced by long drives from Seattle to San Francisco for Bay Area 02 Show and Shine and this trip from Austin to Arkansas for Mid-America). I do like having a "car guy" wife. 

 

Plus it's HOT here in Texas. I need some cross ventilation!

Need to add something.

Thank you to Hal Boyles (and Mike Pugh) for his generosity. I am no longer in need!
