Working on the front glass of a 2 Dr Hardtop, pieces are the same as the covert The regulator seems to be buggered so I am looking at reproductions. Any recommended brands or maybe more importantly, brands to avoid? It will be out soon so I can evaluate further and plan from there. Danchuk has some worthy Youtube vids so that should help...

The regulator really looks pretty good, the issue seems to be a rusty & binding spring. I think a good soak to remove the rust & then a good lube should solve the prob... & Dan, a rebuild of an OEM part would money well spent in my experience.
I would get the big one. Link here. You will need it Im sure. It grakes down fast. Use what you nerd and dont put your parts in the new bucket. https://m.northerntool.com/shop/too...uyRCJsm2UIa3vZFjef6p1OfBc4Ysw9akaAjlvEALw_wcB
