Window Regulator hitting motor bolt.
Decided to start a new thread on this. I installed my second regulator last night from Paragon and it too, is hitting the rear bolt on the motor.
Anybody else run into this? I'm in touch with Paragon, because the rollers are mounted on posts that are an 1/8" too long, it's hitting the rear bolt on the power window motor. I'd like to hear your experience, so I can forward it to Paragon Corvette and maybe we can fix this. I ended up using a flat allen head bolt, that was tapered on the bottom, but able to provide clearance for the arm. It's working now, but I think this should be addressed.
Stingray Lust posted this back in 2011. I'm amazed they haven't fixed this yet, or maybe we haven't complained about it, but just put up with it.

"I've seen pictures and stories about using the replacement rollers you can buy from about every vendor, that they're not 100% correct as they tend to be a bit taller than stock. Some were having issues after they installed the new ones with parts hitting the motor bolts."
New Style Roller, note shoulder:
Stock Roller: Look how low it sits. That 1/8" makes a difference in the tight confines.
