'73 window motors gears

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A lot of parts stores have this part (gear kit) for $25-$30.  There is also 
a Chrysler "improved" gear that I think goes for $48.  I chose to use the 
cheap, internet fix I learned from this very list.  Usually only the three 
spacers crumble.  The rest of the gear is usually intact. Home Depot 1/2 
inch diameter by 1/4 inch tall nylon spacers,  from the Specialty Hardware 
section, replace the three spacers.  You may need to squeeze them with a 
pliers once to get them to fit.
