Window regulators are usually shot on junk yard doors. Especially the
later cars as they made the teeth on the regulator finer and they wear
out faster on the last 2 inches from the end when the window is rolled
up. They also pop rivet the regulators in on the later cars too.On my
yellow car I greased the regulator from the time it was new and it
lasted 25 years. I replaced it with a regulator believe it or not out of
a 79 4 door Concord and that lasted 4 years before going bad. I got one
from Rick a few months ago from his parts Gremlin. I now have Gremlin,
Concord and Spirit parts in my yellow Hornet.

better junk door for those areas of concern
