Are manual window regulators available new?

[1989 comanche mj]

For my 92.  I have done searches, found part numbers, and all the online mopar parts places say they are no longer available.

 

Can I buy them new somewhere?  Mine work but not great, like most.  And of course the junkyard ones are about the same or worse.

Nope, they are NLA (no longer available) from all the normal sources. Very rarely you see a listing on Ebay for some NOS manual regulators some Jeep parts hoarder will list. It's not that hard to convert to power window regulators, and they are still plentiful.

Just curious, will the manual regulators from the rear doors of a Cherokee work on the doors in our MJs?  I have an electric swap planned in the future for "The Beast".  May have to wait until we get back from our little get-away cruise to the Bahamas :)

Unfortunately no, it's entirely different.

I got lucky at the junkyard and found a set of regulators on an XJ that appeared to have been replaced at some point in its life. When those start wearing out, guess it's time for power windows.

 

Even if someone like Dorman started making them, I'd still rather have half worn out originals.

I've found a few in my local pick a part,  I like "packing" the worm gear wire with grease and open up the bend just a bit with a flat head screwdriver to reduce the resistance a bit and extend the life of them. If you end up replacing them you can use nuts and bolts instead of rivets as well. I wish the engineers would have used solid gears instead of this ridiculous design :shake:

 

BTW Check e bay, I've seen a few used ones before.
