window regulator arm

[JK]

Hi All

The window regulator arm on the front passenger door disconnected from the regulator slot. Based on the thread below, my regulator arm is missing the bushings to lock in the arm to the glass (I checked the bottom of the door). Any thoughts on replacement bushings?

Thanks

Hello

You miss the tiny parts that go in the slots under the screen
It consists in a little locking washer, a rubber washer and a spring with another washer.
What often happens is that the locking "circlips" washer comes off and releases all the assembly by the spring effect.
I think the assembly is at the bottom of your door.And must be easy to rectify.

Look thoroughly.
If it worked and stopped suddenly, parts must be around !!
The locking circlips is not veryy big.

My window did the same thing earlier this year and its no consolation but I couldn't find the clip either. I concluded that it must have fallen out of one of the drain holes in the bottom of the door.

Hi !!
Tiding away my things, I manage to make photos of the arm.

1/Overall view / Locking circlips, 1st small washer, and second big washer.


2/Lateral view / Spring appears (compressed).


3/Position of the finger indicates slot metal piece under window :Note that both washers are hard plastic.


you understand now, why all pops off when circlips comes off !!
....if this can help.
