[urq] window regulators

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I have, and it's not pretty.  I used parts of other window regulator  
assemblies to make it right.  In my case, the plastic tubing that  
protects the cable was cracked/broken and the cable frayed/snapped.   
I ended up buying cable from my local hardware store and crimped the  
ends together -- or was it with a screw-crimp?  This worked  
wonderfully on my '83 but took the good part of 5-6 hrs, I believe.   
I might need to do the same on one or both window regulators for the  
'84.  Haven't examined them recently.

Best
