89 vert. Glass at bottom of door, this cable hanging.
What am I in for?

 

about $500... new regulators are available from Mazda, they are not inexpensive though...

 

Your other option is to post a want to buy ad in the classifieds section here on the forum. You will likely find one much cheaper than new. But you're buying used and taking a chance that the part could fail sooner than expected.

 

I decided to send it to Power Window Repair in Phoenix. They’ll rebuild it with metal parts and guaranteed for life. $179.00.

 

That was a good idea!! Cheaper than a new one and more reliable than a used unit! Well played.

 

Thanks, read on forum search someone suggested them. I’ll post how it works out.

 

That sounds good. I'm hoping the parts to fix it are available still. Perhaps they make their own parts via 3d printing...

 

I sent pics, they said they’ve fixed a bunch of these. I assume they’re making their own parts as they replace the plastic stuff with metal. Also lifetime warranty.

 

Got regulator back from Power Window Repair in Phoenix. Plastic parts are now metal, works great. I’m glad cause reinstalling is a royal PIA, not wanting to do it again..
