Fitting a window regulator for a friend . I have a question or two .
( The assembly that moves your Electric Windows )
a) Will I get away with aluminium pop rivets , or do I need stronger steel / stainless ones ?
b) If so any suggestions of where to get them
(Boring Technical) description of symptoms
The fault was the regulator , as a bit had snapped off the green slide .
Here are the symptoms
Attempting to close the window motor moves
(Until metal bits bump roller ) . Window stays still but can be pulled
back up with no resistance from the motor .
Opening window
If window is being held up , motor will pull it back down .
Yet to check health of motor ,but was moving , no weakness in switch
The window appears to move freely in its runners .
