Pete M Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 has anyone replaced the coil inside rather than replace the entire unit? my end goal is to fix the windows in my 88 without actually removing the entire thing (trying to keep the truck as original as possible and drilling out 500 rivets seems to defeat that). not yet certain if that's even possible but one Q at a time. and no, I don't actually know what part has broken (haven't pulled the doors apart yet). I'm 700 miles away from it and my mind is wandering.
Tex06 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 OOF. Good luck. With mine, it was the gear that drove the bead chain that had worn down (my windows would "skip" and chatter when I turned the handle).
acfortier Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Yep, mine did the same. Not sure how you’d be able to replace just that piece without taking it out of the door completely though…
Tex06 Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Good news is, drilling out the 3-4 rivets really wasn't all that bad. And putting new rivets in was even easier (thank you harbor freight and your big rivet gun)!
