Trying to replace the wire in my Window regulator

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Trying to replace the wire in my Window regulator

Post by nzvolvo » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:54 am

My passenger window regulator wires have given up. The motor is fine so bought some wires to replace the old frayed one. No probs getting the regulator out ( now done it 4 times ready to :kill: !! ) but the wire just seem to unravel itself. Am I wasting my time and should buy a new regulator and if so will any other model fit my 87' ? Help please .

Hi Thank you for your reply. I have looked at the site and checked out the photos. They look different to my window regulator. I will try to sort it out ..... hopefully.
