Quarter window regulator repair.

[1963JAM]

Good morning brothers and sisters. Has anyone tried making one good window regulator out of two not so good regulators? What I have is a rear quarter regulator for a 66 Satellite convertible, which is unique and difficult to find. The gear and teeth in the top pictured reg are in good shape but the posts that ride the tracks are junk. The lower regulator has the junk gear and teeth but good posts for the tracks.

You should be able to swap the posts. Grind the peened over part off and press the post out. Press it back in the usable regulator and button weld the post in.

Rear quarter window regulator repair update.
Removed gear and crank assembly from the X arms, which left me only having to weld the factory pressed washer at the pivot spring seat. And then pressing a rivet that was saved and reused.

Glad it wasn't a wasted trip!
