Default Vent Window Regulator Question

Howdy!

I asked this once a couple of years ago, now I'm in the middle of an interior resto and don't remember and cant find the answer...

My '63 coupe left vent window regulator stiicks out of the door panel about 3/8"-1/2". Works just fine. Is there an inexpensive fix or mod for this?

I suspect that I have a '65-'67 regulator, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dan

There should only be one thin grooved ring around the end of the shaft for a '63 Coupe.

Cut a 2-3 inch diameter piece of stiff foam rubber with a 1 inch hole in the center and insert it under the door panel. :hat
