Re: 49 window regulator

Can't commebt on long term use, but I can share that it took me three tries to get a set of acceptable quality right out of the box. First two sets both had significant quality/functionality issues. The vendor replaced them free of charge both times, but it ended up taking about a month longer than it should have. I get the feeling all the repop regulators are probably made at the same factory in China, so I doubt the choice of vendor makes much of a difference. I might have just been unlucky though. The third set seems pretty solid, but we'll see.

Re: 49 window regulator

I just got the rebuild kit for mine, and haven't had any issues yet. Did have to modify them some to get them to fit. I would suggest spending the money on the entire regulator though. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely do that, would have saved a ton of time.
