…Part XII.
As TWSAM (The World’s Slowest Auto Mechanic), I finally got the regulator and window back in the driver’s side rear. The motor worked beautifully – until, the star gear worked it’s way out of the rubber connector, despite the tie wrap around it:
Having not fully exhausted my “washer trick”, I pulled the assembly back out, put some lithium grease on the interior flat surfaces of the washers (not quite sure what lithium does to rubber), put a stack on the shaft to prevent the gear from working its way out again, replaced the tie wrap, like so:
So far, it seems to be holding up. The window goes up and down quite nicely…
