take the regulator out if I can help it. You are lucky not to have a
124 in this particular instance. (I thought you had a wagon out in
the woods, though? Or is that a 123?)
It's a 124 carcass. But it's regulator-free!

That I can do, although it might require taking the old regulator out
to drill holes, and I was trying to avoid that...
For ultimate satisfaction, assuming the sector gear
is steel (don't have a 124, no experience), I'd suggest
taking it out and using a welder to put back steel, then
file/grind

Used regulators are about $45 or so on eBay last time I looked.
You won't fix it short of replacing the rack.

The driver's window in the POS 300E won't go up all the way because
the regulator has about an inch's worth of teeth missing. The motor
and switch are fine---the window just gets to that point and then the
gear has nothing to grab on the regulator's rack, so the motor keeps
running but the window
I'll JB-Weld it into the blank space in the rack.
I bet that'll pop loose in a jiffy, I don't think JB has a
tremendous amount of shear strength. You'd be better served to
screw or rivet it in place, perhaps with JB to help. I don't
know if your new teeth will be sufficiently in plane to go
How about having an assistant hold the window up while you drive
rubber wedges in at the bottom of the window?

If you can pull that off and it holds for more than a month I will
personally award you a Jim Cathey Award. In order to qualify, you
have to actually open and close the window regularly after the

Won't work on a 124 front window, where the regulator regulates the
downward movement of the window as well as

Mine too, but buying a $350 300E in basically good working order has
driven me to new depths of cheapness for the amusement value and
challenge. (So far the total
