: Anyone Repaired a Window Regulator ?

Hi Folks,

On my 69 Chevelle, with the advise of some of you, I took out my worn passenger window regulator. You were absolutely right, it came out fairly easy. My question after looking at it, and at the used one I found, when you look at the opposite side from where the window crank attaches, it is very clear that what goes out on these is the bushing, or should I say what once was a bushing is pretty much gone. In other words when you activate the crank, the shaft wiggles around in a much larger worn hole. These things are put together with rivets. Has any of you tried to drill out the rivets and re-bush the shaft and then either re-rivet or put it back together with nuts and bolts ? I was just wondering if it was doable.

Thanks in advance, Gaz graemlins/waving.gif

If you are speking of the nylon bushing that go in the channels, they are obtainable from most of the restoration guys, ie NPG, etc and are in the $8-9 range per. You can drill them out and re-rivit the new ones in. Just completed that on my 65 ragtop.
