Nope. Non-power windows. The regulator looks like it's held in place w/4 bolts. I'm just trying to figure out any tricks to get the regulator out & make everything go easier upon re-assembly.

Scot, it is really not that difficult. You will want to tape the glass to the top of the window frame to keep it from falling. Once the regulator is loose just slide the guide rollers to the end of the guide to remove. Make sure you go ahead and lube the guides when the new one goes back in. Silicone spray works good in the felt run channels to make the glass go up easier also. You shouldn't have any problems.

Matt, have you done this vintage before? I was going to ask you but figured you had worked on the newer stuff.... nothing this old.

It shouldn't be too much different. I can't imagine you getting in there and not being able to figure it out. Feel free to call or bring it by if you want.

Man.... I called the chevyhouse today, they get $100+tax for the regulator & I have to go down there & pay up front first. I guess that's better than the internet @ around $125 for genuine GM or $35 for aftermarket stuff.
My problem is.... I would want to replace them as a pair, you know, so they both work equally. I know, I'm a dork.

I say go with the GM units regardless. I ordered some more stuff from LMC, and got the same mix of good and bad. The windshield washer bottle was made in Tiawan, but it looks pretty close to OEM. The stickers I ordered are official GM restoration parts, but they aren't the right ones. They are close, but not correct. I say go with GM stuff. It cost more, and may not be perfect either, but it's better than the crap shoot you take when ordering from LMC...
