The title basically states my question.
Passenger side rear window had horrible clunking and slipping when motor energized. Definitely motor gear vs regulator gear issues. I pulled regulator/motor out this afternoon, and the regulator is somehow bent an amazing amount. I've attached pics where you can see how the two gear surfaces are catti-whompus.
I can't really tell how to bend the assy to fit properly, plus the pot metal is cracked in a couple of places. So, here is my question:
Are the rear window regulators the same in a wagon as they are in a sedan? I have one from the parts car if they are the same.
I searched extensively, and can't tell you how many "voltage" regulator posts there are.......
I can't imagine how the unit ended up this bent?

Performance Products catalog seems to indicate that sedan and wagon rear regulators are the same. Just be glad you don't have a coupe. $$$

I've put sedan regulators in a wagon before. As far as I can tell, the doors are exactly the same on both body styles.
