window regulator!

i cant really find what im lookin for in the search. i knew there was a discount for azine on acuraoemparts or delray. i need to find a driver side window regulator for 03 cl-p. my shop wants to charge 250 for everything. is it an easy install? are the pulleys and everything already attached? i can find the part for 80 + shipping. just spent about 3k on a tranny/engine mount job and need to be budget minded

yes everything comes as one, minus the motor itself, that has to be transferred over to the new regulator


and i am assuming the cable broke on yours also (actually the end of it held on by some plastic probably broke)
so you can hear the motor going, but you get no window movement

The motor is included and installation takes maybe 30 minutes tops.

I concur....... there are about 7 or 8 bolts total. Unplug it, put the new one in, and bolt it back up....... if you make it down south I could help out if you want.

Especially one that has shitty reinforcements. The cable holder on the track is a bad design.

kinda mention it before, but yes that is what breaks on most of them, the plastic eventually breaks, even if it is reenforced with metal

It is reinforced by metal, but the tab is only on one side and easily bent after years of use, which is why the plastic ends up breaking.

The plastic broke off of my regulator. Now I have an old motor from the old regulator since it still worked, I saved it. I just DIY the repair, it was easy.
