Default window regulator

Can anyone recommend a place to buy a reliable window regulator? The prices vary from $70 to $270. My window is not working and I think I can handle this repair.

I got on Ebay and found a brand new GM regulator/motor for $90. There were several more for similar cost. Had it at my door three days later. Also Rockauto.

Cool, I'll go for it. The window is still stuck with only a click sound. The window self scratched itself before it broke. The scratch is in the center of the window.

BTDT! If you are interested, have a good low mile used driver's side regulator I bought from a member here and never used. Take $55 shipped (via ground) or $40 plus whatever shipping costs if you need it faster. Pm me.

GL with the fix - it's pretty simple.

Thanks for the generous offer. However, it's the passenger's side window.

NP - there is plenty of info here on how to do it, plan on 1-2 hours tops. And patience when routing the cables around inside the door

Also, CorvetteMods has new aftermarket regulators for $90 as well.
