I've removed the window regulators (late) from a set of doors that I'm readying for paint.. but the regulators could use some sprucing up too. I wiped them down good with a phospho solution... I do have some eastwood brand black rust incapsulating paint - would you guys use that on them? ..maybe just be careful not to get it on the scissor areas (moving parts)?
Or, maybe I should skip that and just oil the actuator bodies up with something? Also, while on the subject of oil - will squirting some oil into the areas where metal crosses during use, quiet them down and limber them up? These are a little crusty and dry feeling, damn squeeky/noisy too. I have industrial sewing machine oil handy, and motor oil - thought I'd use one of those. Then there's the little round (nylon?) roller [remember these are late style - w/ 1 largish roller on each]... mine are pretty loose feeling. Any way of correcting this? Thanks. . |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .. dang!
I might consider something like that down the road, but for now I'm just trying to get the car on the road and already have a million projects to attend to (and spend cash on). . |

@Mikey914 Is that item the same as the off-white ones in the following pic? ..4 needed, right? And how in the world do they swap out? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-7222-1592194363.1.jpg) |

Did you use the ultra expensive guy that shows up here occasionally and tells us how much he cares about his customers..?? Nope.. Cost me about $30 for everything pictured Nice!! I wish I would of done that. I let mine soak in rust remover. After a couple of days they looked great, but within a day, they were almost as rusted as before. |

Clean and then use a light lubricant that turns to a light grease on the gear and lithium on the rollers
