R&R Window Regulators ? Options

[Literati914]

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.

I was crazy and actually had mine plated.

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?

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
