    Vent Window Regulator

    Anyone aware of a kit to repair a vent window regulator for a '65 roadster. The protruding turning shaft (for lack of a better description)is stripped and new regulators sell in the $200 range. Close door and window crank falls off. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Bob,

    Are you sure your not just missing or haven't correctly installed the retaining clip ?

      Thanks for response.
      I actually tightened retaining clip by crimping it with pliers. The turning shaft is stripped and the indenture where the clip seats is pretty smoothed out and rounded. I cannot turn the crank because the gear teeth on the shaft are almost gone.

        Bob, Since the splined shaft with the worm gear is generaly not the part that wears out. Get a used assembly and swap out the parts. It takes some drilling and thread tap to make the repair. Coups and conv. are different so get the correct assembly.
