    Vent window regulator for a 63 roadster

    I recently tried to close my vent window. I turned the crank and the window started to close, however the crank kept spinning and the window stopped moving. If I assist the window I can get it to close but the crank does not reach a stopped position. Any suggestions on a repair? Your suggestions are appreciated.

    You will need a new or rebuilt vent window regulator. The catalog vendors offer rebuilt units on an exchange basis and NOS units on a very pricey basis.

      Bob - Ed's answer is probaly correct since the guts of those regulators are "pot" metal and gear teeth break but there is a chance that the backing plate came off the body. If that is the case and the gear teeth are OK, the backing plate can be reattached. Be sure to lubricate the gears on reassembly if it's repairable. Pete

        Hi Bob,
        When you take it apart to inspect the gear,if it's worn try flipping it over to use a different section of the gear.

          There is a vendor that rebuilds these regulators at a reasonable price:
