Re: power window regulators on the cheap
How do you remove the spring from the regulator?

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
put the regulator in the up position and pry it off carefully. it might help to put a towel over it while prying off.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
I finished mine a while back but just got around to installing them now that the doors are painted. They work great the window goes up nice and quick. No issues at all.
Thanks so so much for this great tip. Glad I found it on YouTube and then the pattern on the forum. thanks again

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
I was messing around with one of these power regulators out of an Astro van, be careful of those springs. I cut the heck out of my hand when it caused the arms to scissor on me .... sorry no pics =)

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
Thanks for the update, I'm working on a window switch that will allow you to keep the factory window crank in the same hole it was originally (like the aftermarket version currently available, but on the cheap, keeping with your theme
 ) I am using the broken door actuators from a set of doors I bought and using some micro switches, I'm attaching a few pics, but it's a work in progress, but hopefully it will give you all some inspiration to make a set and save some big money all the while looking "Stealthy"Here are a few pics: |

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
Great idea here. Thanks for reviving the thread or I'd have never seen it
 This should help on the wiring ideas:

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
just did my other one figured out how to get the guide to work a little better in the pic below you will see that if you cut the guide out like below you can put it in the vise and flatten it a little only needs to be flattened the thickness of the metal then it can be put over the gear and tacked in place.. also i welded studs to the metal instead of grinding the bolts
btw i really love this mod i hope as guys figure stuff out with this mod they keep posting it one guy came up with this and as a team we are making it into a great mod go team go

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
I haven't had time to try (nor does it look like I will) this mod. I was thinking when I try it about using this switch and somehow affixing a stock handle to it instead of the switch handle that's there. I don't have anything to mock up with, so there may be clearance issues, etc. However, it seems a possible way to keep the stock look.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
Finally did this mod. Followed all instructions. Followed video on how to make a relay so you don't prematurely burn up the switches. Also got inspiration on the micro switches to keep the stock look. Here's a pic. It works great.

Notice the springs keeping the unit centered. In the picture above.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
Do you have a schematic for wiring the relay?

Re: power window regulators on the cheap
I actually used the schematics from the youtube video IA DC posted above and instead of going to the standard window switch it went to my home made switch. I will post a drawing of that. Check this video.... https://youtu.be/dLKuZeUe6is
