It's not the regulator. It's the rubber channel at the back being unsupported, allowing the window to roak. My 75 had this and my 84 as well. The cure would be to glue a block of rubber (or screw it in) to the rear of the inner door structure to locate the lower part of the channel within the door. I will eventually get around to looking at this... that clunk is very annoying! -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
