Default Vent Window Regulator

I have posted in the WTB section, but my question is can you install the regulator after the vent window is installed. It has been about 3 years since I tore the car down. Thanks

The 65-67 coupe and 63-64 convertible style have a 3 ring grooved shaft. 1964 Convertible Drivers side. (left).

I replaced both left and right Regulators on my 65 Coupe with the Vents installed.

I would imagine the convertible and the coupe would be the same

Holt, first I don’t know the answer.
But, look in AIM, page D110 or sheet 1 doors, 4.00. That’s the coupe and it looks doable.
Next, look in AIM, pageD115, or sheet 1 doors, 13.00. That’s the convertible.
I think you have to remove the ventilator assembl, item 1.

Hello!

It's doable! And harder to rebuild the regulators than to take them out and in!..............WITH THE VENTS IN!!!

Prepare yourself for potential "Project creep" as you pull you door panels Off! If for the first time......Just Sayin!

So a three ring shaft is what I need for my 65 coupe? Zip shows a two ring.

I am pretty sure all the parts sites say the same thing on the descriptions.

When the car was torn down, we knew it was going to be a long road back with many detours!

Very easy to remove. The door handles are the hard part. Very east to fix. Guaranteed the back plate has came loose or fell off it will be in the bottom of the door. Drill where the plate was wedged on and tap and screw back together

Default Car has been stripped and is going back together.

Doors have no guts. After 3 years I am putting it back together. Sequential order can be an issue. Lack of availability on Driver’s side regulator is slowing me down. If I can rebuild the doors and add the regulator after the fact I can keep going. Thanks
