think i got hosed on some used window regulators...w/pics...help?
So I picked up 2 used regulators on ebay for $125, to do the conversion on my 85. What a steal, right? Take a look.
Aren't they missing something? IE the other rail and the part that actually holds the glass to the regulator? Does anyone know where I can get that stuff individually? Ugh.

Haven't opened mine up, but I purchased new, as I didn't want to have to do this job twice, in case a used one failed. Here is a picture of a new regulator:
Now I understand your post in the used section.

out of subject a bit.. but I have a problem with my regulator (88' non ribbon type).. the motor and gear do move. But it doesn't move the arms to raise the window ! .. I am wondering what is missing or broken.. can one of you take a picture of the area that the gear attaches and moves the arms ?
thanks.
thanks.

Well, best price I found for new ones was through Corvette Central...$ 279 per side, new GM regulators and motors. Wasn't cheap, but a lot better than the $ 379 most other Corvette places are charging. BTW...I did get a quote from Vette2Vette for used regulators...they want $ 85 (I think) per side. I'd suggest that all of you contact Vette2Vette and see if they can hook you all up with the misc. parts you all are missing from your regulators. I am sure they have bad regulators there that they can strip the parts you all need off of.

Not to be the bad guy or anythng.... and not that I haven't been burned by a eBay sale.. (cause I have)..
Lets take a look at what you are doing and what was for sale.. from the sound of your post.. your are updating and coverting from the older style ribbon regulator to the newer style Regulator which is ok..
The ebay seller is selling replacement regulator.. I don't think he is selling a conversion kit.. but, it can be used to convert to the new style regulator ! As a replacement regulator or part, you would already have the require part to install what is being sold. !
Got to to know what you are buying..

Also if looking for used parts, I have had some luck with Vette2Vette.net. They are a used Corvette Parts place (I think he buys wrecked vettes or something). Prices seemed ok on the items I got, and now I am after some other parts, and am going to compare his prices to the other prices I find. Fair Guy though. You can call him at:

Or E-Mail

As for thepartsladi, when I ordered my regulators, I had just ordered a couple of other parts from thepartsladi on eBay...but they were cheaper parts. I had never dealt with them before, so I figured I would go with Corvette Central for the regulators...that and it was a BUNCH of parts I ordered from Corvette Central...was just easier to do. But, now that I have dealt with thepartsladi, I would recommend that vendor on eBay. The parts I purchased were packed correctly and shipped quickly...in case anyone else is thinking of buying from thepartsladi.

That really sucks. You really have to stay with a few trusted ebay sellers like thepartsladi anymore. I feel like this is analogous to the guys selling the white "preliminary" factory service manuals on ebay, who "forget" to note that these are missing half the sections of the complete manual and most of the time blatantly lie about which sections are included. I managed to fall for that one. True FSMs seem to have much smaller print to cram twice the information in the same size book.

Well, after 3 emails and 3 via Ebay over 7 days, the seller responded with "Dear agent86er,
This is the 1st email I got from you is there a problem ? "
In the last message(today), I stated that I am a member of all the major corvette forums and he could be assured that there will be a review of this transaction.
Hmmm !!
Will see how this pans out. I have never had to leave anyone bad feedback and bad reviews before, I hope I can keep that record.
Here is a pic of a new GM reg on ebay, it's obvious I am missing a couple of parts.
