1972 window regulators

Will 1972 window regulars work with my 1969 doors and windows?

They will work but the shaft the crank handle goes on is longer due to the thicker door panels on the 72. Chris

Re: 1972 window regulators

Thanks Chris,

Can I change out the 72 window crank shaft with my 69's? Or is the shaft permanently attached to the regulator?

No, they're permanantly attached. If you have 72 door panels that's the only other thing that'll work. Chris

Actually the shaft is riveted to the regulator. You can swap them. I have done it but its kind of a pita.
