[urq] window regulators

[Brandon Rogers]

So are new window regs for '84+ cars still available.  ISTR that "later"
cars (in US case) had different P/N than early cars and still had window
reg availability, even if pricey.  

Anybody know?

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.
