Oldcarguy · 02-07-2019, 02:00 PM

Did the window regulator fix to my drivers side (left) door today. Front cable had a lot of slack. All green inserts ok, all cables are on their pulleys as far as I could tell. I carefully cut the green cable insert/holder off of the slack cable with a dremel. Should have left it on and added the bicycle adjuster behind it. Barely had enough adjustment to take out all the slack and leave enough of the adjuster to fit into the pulley assembly.

Works like a champ! Thanks Dave S!

The original green fitting pulled all the way out of the pulley fitting. That’s a lot of slack.

The green fitting after I Dremeled it off.

Done!
