Default rebuilt my window regulators today...what a difference!

YUP! today we did it...all 6 hours of it :yesnod:
but now my windows work great...no rattles...no wind leaks...

Same here. My windows are in real need of a little loosening up. They have tightened up and are a little hard to roll up on the drivers side. This should help out tremendously. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the link SIGNGUY. I'm tired of getting ripped off for door/window work. Didn't know ZIP had a technical workshop. :thumbs:
