hermanangus Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Took the door skins off to service the widows on my 64 prior to a later in the year paint job( thanks to previous threads regarding T nuts) and found what you see below. Is this arm replaceable by itself, or do you need a whole new window carrier assembly as this appears to be riveted? is this a common failure? And can you replace the window rollers, as they seem to be rivited as well? Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Very common failure. At least you have the broken piece. If you search the forum, you can find a thread that shows a repair for this part. Good luck finding one that's not broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric's.64.Superwildcat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Here is a link to a thread that documents the process. Good luck with your project. Window Motor and Roller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Since the window works fine with this part not hooked up, if it was mine I would remove the broken piece and not worry about it. Later model GM cars have the same basic design without this piece, on much larger and heavier windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanangus Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks guys. I will post my pic in that other thread as well. I need to clean and lube all four window tracks and see how they work, then decide if I want to repair or omit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Mine was broken when I bought the car and rattled when you closed the door. The broken piece was there and we just heliarced it. Fifteen years before the internet was common, memories of feeling like Major Tom back in those days. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
