I Hate This Stupid Crap...

Does anyone know where i can get new window regulators?? Im so mad at mine its not even funny. I actually thought about mutilating it with a hammer for a while, but then i realized i didnt wanna hurt her, so i just put her all back together and took the switches out so i cant accidently try to use my windows. I REALLY REALLY REALLY need new regulators , so if anyone knows where I can get good ones, let me know. Thanks.

yeah, power window regulators, 85 GSL-SE, or 85 GSL, I need (1) drivers side at least maybe (1) passenger. I dont want used, I want brand-spankin new, never gonna go out for 12 years new, Im so tired of trying to fix mine its not even funny, I want ball bearing new, I want WORKING WINDOWS. Sorry, this is the only touchy part of my temper when it comes to working on my car, the windows just **** me off so much...

maybe I'm being too picky wanting all new, but someone out there has to have some decent window regulators...right? Or does every freaking car out there have crap for windows? I'm seriously considering custom making my own with decent metal that wont warp, and uses ball bearing instead of greased press-fit, nice rollers instead of plastic that has worn out and fallen off...Man, Mazda sure let me down when it came to the windows... Im about ready to caulk my windows closed sop i dont have any, at least my sunroof works...

You could always convert back to manual ones. I was about to do that to my '83 until I found a good hardly used set of regulators. I'll gladly sell you my old ones cheap, but they aren't the greatest. They work but need a little help sometimes.

Cost for new ones is a bit to high for me. I managed to fix up my driver side window, by basically diddling with it, and pulling the motor off, then re-atatching, and diddling with it, and diddling with it, etc. for about 3 hours. But the passenger side still doesn't like to go up correctly (I didn't feel like cutting my hands up for 3 more hours just for the passenger, and only spent about 1 hour trying to get it to work. )
I'm on the lookout for a good used one for the passenger side, but in no rush. The roof and my window bring in enough air for me.

P.S. My problem was with trying to roll the window up, they kept leaning forward, or out, or some place they really shouldn't be. Fixing it was quite a pain in the ***, especially with all the play I got with the old window regulators.

well at like $30 for a regulator and then a $15 fee, I think it would be worth it
