Default Vent Window Regulator

Back when I had my 63 SWC, I remember getting some "real" steel gears for around $65 and rebuilding my Vent Window Regulator. Anybody remember or have a lead for these gears.

Also, does the ignition key work the doors but not the glove compartment?

Tks

The glove box key is also used for the spare tire lock and as you note not the doors or ignition.

They sold me the parts a few years back for about $60, and it was a 10 min fix.

Check to make sure that the retainer plate has not fallen off. Sometimes, all you have to do is dig it out of the bottom of the door cavity and drill and tap where the rivets were and screw it back together and the gears will work fine. As said above, an easy fix either way!
