Hi All, I opened up the passenger door and found another amateur repair job. Not as bad as the driver’s door but still will need a lot of work with a jury rigged mount bypass. No doubt cracked like the other side and many on my other 300K’s over
the years. I sent a note to the usual suspects asking for pricing on a good gear unit, the scissor unit and the motor. What I got was: Window regulator, $175.00 Gear drive assembly, $275.00 Working motor, $200.00. Now I know it has been 25 or more years since I was working on 300K’s but over $600 for the window guts? That just seems a lot and we all know the gear boxes cannot be known to be good at the motor mount boss with a magnaflux inspection
for cracks and taking it apart to inspect the gears. At this point I have three options, pay the $600 plus, go out and see what a couple of doors complete may cost, hunt for some NOS parts or… I may well decide to spend the money and have the gear boxes scanned and machined out of billet aluminum to make that problem go away forever. If anyone has a gear box for the drivers’ side door and/or the passenger side door ( I still have not confirmed if the gear boxes are left and right specific or not) that is in good condition and wants to sell it send me an email.
