    Hi, Hambers, lately I've been planning on re-installing door windows in a 5W coupe. My right hand (passngr side) skips and it looks like the handle gear is considerably worn. Are these repairable? Or is there a reliable supplier to replace the whole unit? Thanks in advance
     
  2. Used to be the small gear was replaceable. They had two different tooth counts. If you have a sorce for regulators you can pull the gear out and replace yours. Your big gear could bad. Only way to know is take it apart.

    Hi, yes the problem turned out to be the base grommet had bonded to the paint. I lost a patch of paint but it's a fairly easy fix. The handle popped right out with a bump from a heavy hammer. Thanks for you help.

    34 5-W was replaced by the 35 Ford, Tudor Sedan, quarter window regulator.

    Actually 35 to 40 rear quarter window regulators fit all 34's front and rear, Just have different size screws and winding stop screws on one of the gears in different holes. They also get switched side to side for the winding handle to be in the right place. As an extra tip the rear quarter metal glass channel fits also after adjusting to correct length.
