1964 Safari tailgate window regulator


Does anyone know where I can find a manual tailgate window regulator?

The one I have has stripped teeth on the crank and a few flat spots on the teeth on the arms as well, so it's done.

I'd even be up for ideas to use alternative junkyard parts to make it a power window.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't find one sooner, I'm hoping to get to an auto wrecking in April or May that I'm sure will have a few of the manual regulators.

If me, I'd probably be attempting a last gasp, MacGyver weld/file/grind some new teeth on it move.

I welded mine and filed new teeth over 20 years ago. Still good. But yes carl and I can look in the spring or summer too.

Awesome! Thanks guys.

Maybe I'll try welding and filing the teeth. I've got nothing to lose at this point.

Sorry, I forgot to close the loop and post an update that I was able to fix the regulator by welding the teeth as you guys suggested, so I won't need a new one after all. Thanks again!

For future reference, here's a link to a post I made with some details about the repairs I did:
