Window Regulator Dramas

[Sim]

hey guys, needing some guidance with one of the window regs on my ke26. the RHR door window doesn't wind up and down, so i removed the door trim to have a look. the regulator is winding up and down fine but its not connected to the window itself, or isn't grabbing the window n bringing it down. its abit of a shit thing to see into so i can't see if anythigns broken, it doesn't look like it, but how is the window meant to sit on the regulator? if someone could show me a diagram of how everything goes together that would be great. does it just slide into channels somewhere?

 

also does anyone know where i can get some good quality replacements for my door pulls? i got some off ebay which looked alrite at first, but the fken things have already broken in half, rubbish :yes:.

mmmm on further looking i answered my own question, theres 2 rubber strap things that attach the window to the regulator channel which move the window up n down n they've both snapped :yes:.

anyone got any tips on fixing this? could u just stick some rubber to either side of the window and jam it in the slots on the regulator? as I'm assuming u wuldn't beable to buy the 2 particularly shaped rubber bits anymore.

If this is the part your talking about, i wouldn't really be getting my hopes up of getting a new separate rubber piece. From what i worked out when two of the windows on my old '82 seca did the same thing its, like a "special" press fit or something that holds the glass in the channel. All i did was just use some silastic to glue the glass back into the channels. Worked a treat

 

 

Edit - The passenger door side i used a channel from a '55, just had to cut it up a little fit. Never had any other problems after that for the 6-7 more years that i had the car.

thanks for the help mate, i ended up sussing it out, that picture is a different setup to what i had, might be similar to a front door though. its all good though :yes:.
