I have a manual passenger side rear window regulator that I am having problems finding. Mine is bad and the parts houses are a no go, I have searched parts geek and the online ones I know about.
Any ideas?

Is the cable bad or the gear ?
The cables can usually be reversed so the bad spot is not in use. I did this on my 90. The part that attaches the cable to the glass at top is removeable, it spins off. I think I pryed up a crimp to get it spinned off the cable, and put it on good end of cable. Took a bit to figure out but has worked flawlessly since. My problem was mainly the protective tube on lower end was plugged and collecting water that rusted out the cable teeth.
Every once and awhile local craigslist parter outers will list these.

Thanks guys. I think its the mechanism has come apart because I can hear cables grinding and binding together. I will pull the panel off this weekend and find out for sure and let you know what direction I go for the fix.
Thanks for all the input. I will research them all.
