Re: 1940 front door window mechanism

The rear windows needed shafts with a gear on the end. I always blamed the kids for rolling the windows up too hard at the top, but no matter. The first 10 years I was a kid, too, so not pointing fingers. In fact as long as I could remember, I would roll the rear window up to the point where it slipped, then grab both ends and pull it up the rest of the way. We replaced the big gear in 2011.

If the teeth on the big gear of your regulator are shot, you also have to worry about the teeth on the end of the crank shaft, opposite to where you connect your handle.

No one came up with any regulators for a convertible sedan, but Regulator Roy,http://www.regulatorroy.net sent a pair of NOS 1940 sedan rear window regulators (he has many more) which had the parts I needed to repair mine. As you can see, nothing is that simple on a Packard, front or rear.
