Refurbrishing window regulator on 67

[67rcks]

When trying to fix the driver side window regulator (failed to close) it turned out a small part needs to be replaced as shown on the photo. I could not find any store that carries it. I don't want whole reproduction regulator. Do you guys have any advice where this can be bought?

This is where window roll handle attaches to the regulator. There is a spring inside that creates a precise resistance to allow window to stay open and still allowing to close it with a light effort. I spent some 3 hours trying to repair it (cleaning + some lubrication). Everyhing is clean and greased but this thing still ain't working

That is the regulator, the rest is merely the window lift. There is a spiral spring inside that allows vertical movement when the crank is turned, but prevents the window from falling down on its own. So far as I know, it not available separately as a repair part, the assumption was, I think, that if this part is shot, the stamped arms and pivot are probably no good, either.

I suppose you could pull a used one out of some other window riser, but be aware they are left and right.

Personally, I would just replace the entire regulator and be done with it. That way you don't have to take it all back apart to redo it.

Personally, I would sell this car and bought a new shiny one with power windows. Now guess where the problemm lies.

That's because the spring inside it is broken.

Buy a new window riser and install. This whole repair should take about an hour.

the spring looks like new, but simply creates too high friction in one direction. maybe it is due to lubrication. I used black suspension grease.
