760T Window Woes 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Richie Rodriguez on  Thu Jul 11 17:10 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Which is why I learned to mix epoxy and cut fiberglass ribbon. There are two places the regulators in my '86 740 have broken. The plastic regulators are way prone to cracking to failure. Fortunately you can fix them for $10 worth of epoxy and fiberglass.

If the teeth are worn away at the top it's not terminal. I took the regulator out and laid a single spot weld at the point where teeth used to be. Then I filed the teeth back into shape. It was only two teeth so not so onerous, and I saved the hundreds of dollars.

Grab the window when it's half way up. If you can shift it significantly at that position, the plastic of the regulator is cracked. If it's worn teeth the window should be solid except for that last inch.
