Title: Window Regulators
Post by: munch on July 18, 2014, 03:20:44 PM: I have a 1930 Coach and some of the window handles slip on the regulator splines. Does anyone have any ideas for repair without having to buy the $65.00 a piece regulator repair kits?

Question.......Is it the splines inside the window winder handles or....... is it the spline on the winder mechanism ?

If its the splines inside the handles , then best to find a couple of new handles. Custom chevy handles were made by billet specialties with correct splines.

Every once in a while an original repair kit appears on ebay, fits 1929--1938 PASSENGER CARS Chevrolet. See if I can find the one on ebay I saw few days ago. and post a link to it.

YOU WANT THIS ONE......CHAMP ITEMS ***ONLY # 991 ***
only thing missing is the coiled spring. Put it on an ebay search and every time one shows up for sale ebay will notify you. Prices on these range from $5 too $30 depends on seller.
I typed in "window regulator repair kit #991 "

See what happens when it arrives from the shipper and installs it. I got a couple I bought for my 35 coupe, 25 years ago, never had to use them yet.
