Wow, she's incredible. Before my wife passed away, when she knew she was seriously ill, she told me, "Joe, it's going to take at least 3 women to replace me, and they all better be over 60." This gal is going on the list for sure. 101, amazing.

Thanks, JD. I can at least put 2 screws in there tonight and see if the action raises and lowers the window.

This is fascinating and amazing to me. I'm impressed.

I don't think it's the original solution (but who cares, if it works).
It may be a better solution, but that would push the second hole, the wider one, behind the main arm if the round hole is moved to the center of the large hole. And any repositioning of that secondary arm may prevent the window from going all the way up or down.

It could be tested. I'm now an expert at installing latches and regulators, I've done it so many times. One more time is no problem.

I have to look at it some more.

I still don't think so, but we were missing the filler on top and bottom of divider and perhaps another piece on the front side of the divider, which I ordered from Steele over the weekend. They will redo the installation when those parts come.

My main problem at the moment is knowing exactly what goes in the window regulator arms to hold them together.

Slipping the arm through the hole was a big step forward. And yes, wondering where 40 people are. From the wear pattern on the small arm, there was something round there. The way it's dug in, I don't think the inside of the big round hole in the primary arm did it. I think there was a bushing cutting into it.

I know we will be saying OF COURSE when we find out.

Confirmed.

Howard, Guscha,
Do you think the rivets could serve as the bushing? Or a bushing around each rivet?

That long slot looks like it's either for allowing movement or for making an adjustment. Would one hole be for a rivet (the round hole) and the other for an adjustment screw?

Joe

That works, Guscha. You see what I mean? I have no aptitude for this. A slotted bushing is still needed, right? And 2 rivets.

On the other hand, who says it doesn't take a Russian rocket scientist to figure this out?

On the other secondary arm I noticed some wear, as you mentioned earlier.

So I think there is a bushing with a slot for the closer part of the secondary arm to slip through that allows the arm to rotate 180 degrees both directions and keeps the button on the shorter end in the same plane as the button on the primary arm.

Is that what you already described to me? (probably, I'm guessing)

Thanks, again, Howard. I took a rest from it yesterday. In the parts book, 35-41, the illustration for 30.386 on page 22 of DOORS looks just like mine. The arms are not the same length. The whole assembly must be riveted because there is no breakdown to smaller parts (except the screws for attaching the regulator to the door), the same rivets used to hold the buttons.

I may just have to buy a set of regulators to find out how these work.

Same with the crank shafts on my rear doors. I have the regulator, handle, escutcheon, spring, but no shaft which goes into the regulator.

I really appreciate your sitting in the pit with me on this one. But I am at wit's end to know what parts are on the back side of where the arms come together.

I'll take more pics and post them.
