I'm not too cheap to buy a used regulator, but for all the hassle of putting the old one back until the replacement arrives, then repeating the exercise all over, it was easier to fix it (of course, having a mig helps). If the gear on the motor is gone, you're probably looking at a replacement motor. |
Nice job (I checked your other thread). I know on my W124 I found that splitting the motor from the regulator allowed me to clean the rust, moisture, etc. out and then repack with moly. I simply stuffed the moly in, mated the motor back to the regulator drive, used jumper leads on the battery and kept reversing the polarity to let it travel both directions. This worked the lube into the drive unit. Two of four windows are done and work very smoothly. I do need to remove the left front door panel and do a minor adjustment for proper tracking of the window as it tilt slightly inward at toward the peak of its travel. I also learned not to use too much Waxilit on the fiber seal. Streaked the glass for weeks. Works great on the upper portion in the cold weather as the top of the glass does not try to bind/freeze. Are we having fun???
