Door Window Regulator Help Needed

Hey everyone,

i just replaced the wing windows in my 1946 stylemaster with a full window. I managed to rig together a regulator that does the job, just not the way i'd like. Has anyone fabricated a window regulator out of a late model mechanism that works smoothly. I know there are a couple posts on here for setups of other models. But has anyone done this with this type of vehicle? If so, any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I used Jeep Cherokee manual regs from a 1997-2001.

It is a center track lift, cable in a plastic tube. It kind of limits where you can tweak the handle to be, but it works good. The center track was slightly curved for modern door gl***, but I flattened it out real easy for use with flat gl***.

The window handle mechanism is attached to the blue flexible tube, so after the center track is mounted, then you can swing the handle up or down a little for best fit.

With a center lift, the door gl*** must have good fitting side tracks to keep the window level. That may be a problem with eliminated vent windows.

 

F&J,

Thanks! That helps out a lot. I have the side tracks fitted up nicely, so now I just need the regulators. Off to the junkyard I go!

Thanks again
