    Can anyone confirm that a 2 Door window regulator will "NOT" work in a 4 door! I am guessing not, but thought I would submit this. 2 Door regulators are easily found on the web, not so much with 4 Door regulators.
    The door glass is loose in the door, having come loose from the regulator. The glass is not fully in it's track as seen in the photo. I have not yet removed the door trim panel to see exactly what's going on in there.
    Thanks for any help offered !!

    Is the mechanism bad or just the rollers which have worn out. I'm just guessing that if it is the rollers they would use the same parts as the two door. I seem to recall buying the rollers years ago when I rebuilt mine.

    Micah, thanks for your comment. I believe that only the rollers are bad. I think those are available on AutoKrafters.com. I still need to remove the trim panel and look inside.
