Re: IML: 63 window gears and such

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

The regulators on the 60-63 do indeed come apart & the gears can be changed. 
If memory serves, the spring is in the relaxed position when the window is 
up. I had a 63 that the problem was not the regulator, but the teeth on the 
arm were stripped at the end & not allow the window to close completely. 
Changing the arm assembly cured that problem. I'm not sure if the teeth 
could be "built up". I found that the arms were very easy to come by, so 
didn't bother messing around with the stripped one.
