[V8] Aftermarket Window Regulator

[Ed Kellock]

All the types regs work in the v8 in my experience.

I have done repaired the crimp breaking out of the slider a few times with
JB Weld. I also use a very small drill bit to drill a couple hokes in the
slider above and below the crimp point. Then I use some small wire to wrap
around it tightly. Then I goop the JB Weld into all the crooks and
crannies. Haven't had one of those fail yet. Next one I will do without
wire.
