How do the ends of a window regulator get replaced?

[b_body_hopeful]

I have a manual window regulator form a 72 RR. The square ends and roller needs to be replaced as seen by the pictures.
How do they come off and where can I purchase replacements?

Thanks in advance.

Those actually don't look that bad. I would clean up and continue to use.

Thanks, what about the one that is missing a slide? Do you drill tis one out and hammer a new one in?

 

[idrivemopar]

I think that would be the only option there as I believe they were pressed in place.

Thanks.

Use topco overhead door spray on all the moving parts for some reason it lasts forever and doesn't attract dust

Good suggestion. I got some....I will use it.

Well I finally took apart my window glass and regulator and these are the pics and what I found. Notice, on the 73 RR regulators I have rollers not slides. Where do I find these?

Also, where do I find new hardware to install the slide hardware to the glass itself. I have never seen these parts anywhere and have been looking for a while now. R/T specs might have the rollers, I will know Monday. I sent him the same pics and he is going to look and see if he can find something. If not, I will have to McGyver something. Thanks for looking.

Hey Dennis, check with a local windshield install company for the plastic parts to hold the mechanism to the glass. Believe it or not, I went to the local Safelite here, and the guy just gave me what they had left in stock because they never use them anymore.

WOW, great idea. I have a couple of shops down here. Thanks Paul.

One other thing, looks like your stops are rusty on the back side. You can re-use them just soak in de-rusting solution, clean and paint. You can get a new rubber gasket at a local hardware store, Ace is where I went for those, should be able to find a standard size that fits those.

71-2 used sliders
73-4 rollers
both will interchange with each other.
report back if you have any luck fixing those rollers
i have some pw regulators that need them bad.
if you get it all apart without destroying it
you can put all the hardware in a tumbler/evaporust
and bring it back to life.
i tumbled mine then coated it all in rpm.

reworked 71-72 door window regulators to be 73-74 RR ones!

Thanks, Yes I used part of this kit. The other part I needed was the round sliders and I found them at
RosevilleMoparts.com They were the Window Roller Regulator slide Round (723570).
Here is what I did to remove and install the slides:

Here is the 71-72 square slide

I took a grinder

Ground off the end sticking out

found the stud

With a hammer, punched it out

Put the new round slide in


Hammered the stud until round slide was tight and stud was almost flat

End product.

At this point I did all 6 rollers and squares...changed them to the round rollers and
then installed them into the doors.

Nice work man, now I know who to call if I ever need mine done! LOL

I keep seeing this...what is RPM? I can't find anything online really.

I'm currently in the process of de-rusting a ton of parts, all of which are being repainted, but some need to be 'natural' like what you show.

Thanks!

"RPM" is a product from ECS. ECS is in St. Charles, MO. Its a "Rust preventative magic" . You heat it up, apply the product, wipe off the excess. Its like a wax. AWESOME stuff
