Default 1979 power window repair.

New motor and new regulator.



Two upper bolts fit fine. One lower bolt is off a 1/4 inch. This pisses me off that they don't fit right. Getting the drill ready. Yes they use bolts instead of rivets.

It's all in and it works. The adjustment is close but not today. I am too tired. Put a new door lock in too since the old one did not work at all. Took it for a short drive. Beatiful day for a drive.


It looks great from 20 feet. Especially like the new wheels and tires.
