The latter are awfully inconvenient. >> >> Regards, >> >> John Rodgers >> 88 GL Driver >> In the last year I have again found why I never put power windows in anything. Neighbors brand new chevy (still under warranty) had a stuck window for 5 days awaiting parts. Son in laws mazda..snapped regulator and took motor with it. 350 bucks so I ended up strapping that window for him. About 2 months later the other doors motor went out. Same 350 bucks for setup. Got rid of it. Daughters jeep. Snapped regulator. Called jeep. They no longer have just the regulator for it and must replace entire motor and regulator section 280 bucks. Currently strapped up at the hinge inside as well. Jeep went to a new style regulator motor setup that supercedes the 98 to 2002 models so if you loose just the motor or regulator you have to replace both. Looking for a regulator that might still be in stock somewhere but not finding one.
