<VV> Late coupe driver's window regulator

[Marc Marcoulides]

I don't have any more (or I'd give u one) but having been there would like to give some comment. Th problem always seems to be the driver side (it's used more) and fails first. Since u have to take it all apart clean the tracks with a media blaster (it could have contributed to the binding) and replace the felt pieces the glass rides on. Hopefully Clark or Lon or Larry will have it. Would hate to have u install a reg and the binding come back in less than 6 months.

>I'm hoping some good Samaratan will help me out here.  My '65 coupe's driver's window has not been working correctly.  Tonight I took the regulator out and found that the regulator mechanism is binding.  I have attempted to clean it using everything imaginable.  I cleaned all the teeth in the large gear side, and cleaned the inside of the crank mechanism with brake cleaner.  I lubed the whole thing, but it still binds.  I want to take this car to Buffalo, but I obviously need to get this door back together first, and that will take (unfortunately) a new regulator.
