The window regulator piece of crap plastic is now fixed!

My cable was tangled up in the spool, so I had to rewind the cable onto the spool. I purchased part #2107200042 from my indy for $13.50 to replace the broken slider.

Broken assembly.


New part on left, broken slider on right.


I drilled out the rivets on both sliders.


The new green slider will replace the old grey one.


Re-installed the cable/springs/metal clip into the new green slider and attached the old cover and jaw. Do this with the cable off of the top nylon wheel. The new slider will snap into place on the guide rail.


The hardest part is putting the cable back onto the top nylon wheel due to the tension. I was able to get it started in the groove and used needle nose pliers to turn the wheel and feed the cable into the groove.


Finished product. Re-installed the window regulator and everything worked perfectly.
