Aloha hey I’ve bought a couple of window regulators from bus depot and I have to say I’m less than happy with them they skip and just didn’t hold up. Anyone know if any other companies have better ones ???

| While the BD ones fit, I agree, the quality is missing. I had the same symptoms with the last one I installed. |

I tried several brands - all between marginal and garbage. I gave up and rebuilt my old ones. If you go that route, going through the crank assembly itself is key, no way I could find to clean out the old dried grease without drilling the rivets out, disassembling, cleaning and reassemble with good grease and pop rivets. Along with the GW replacement slider parts they work quite well. I have the GW add-on power window kit (Meh, at best) and if the regulators are not top notch, it doesn't work at all.

Wish I had kept the old one the problem with it was the old handle stripped out the drive so it was shot.
I found some used ones in the classifieds gonna buy them
