According to Mid America site, the regulators are the same from 65- some chassis number in 68 model year. Perhaps your replacement regulator got bent up during removal prior to you buying it?

It is troublesome to see vw embrace this way of being. My German is rusty, ut could you imagine what the jeep people would do if Chrysler tried to pull he same thing with the original jeeps? People around these parts (the Midwest) ould probably take to the dealerships with pitchforks and torches in hand! I have nothing against vw trying to make reasonable amounts of money off of ars that were designed to last a long long time, as long as it fills my uidelines of being reasonable. Shutting out competition, adding litigation recompense into the regularly lanned budget cycle, and then have your local dealerships tell you to get rid f your car rather than try and help you find parts for it all strike me as eyond the pale. Obligatory repair topic-has anybody ever swapped out the widow regulator r lifter in a drivers side door of a 66? Is a 65 the exact same part? I've done this (it was way easier on a vanagon) but the bracket at the ottom of the window doesn't line up with the lifter or regulator or whatever ou call it. One side does, the side near the rear of the car, but the side near he front is too high and will not reach. The odd part is that the window looks k in the frame an isn't crooked. Thinking of going to a hardware store and etting some sort of spanner bracket to get the front of it hooked up to the ifting or regulating mechanism. Being as it is winter here, I had picked this up for $20 and they through n an extra window crank handle. I know WW had them for $50, but I needed it ight away. What do you all think? I've been running around with the door panel emoved simply to save time when I get time to fix it. Also, speaking of Facebook redirects, my car is on Facebook now even hough I'm not. Gee, sure hope VW doesn't sue me :-) Kyle 6 bug -- isit the VintagVW archives at http://mail-archive.com/[email protected] -- ou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups VintagVW - Air Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List" group. o unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email o [email protected]. o post to this group, send email to [email protected]. isit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/vintagvw. or more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- Visit the VintagVW archives at http://mail-archive.com/[email protected] --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VintagVW - Air Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List" group.
