Back in 1979 when I bought my 1st 356, a 63B my drivers window didn't work. Dealers would sell me a new replacement regulator but $$$ so I took my broken pivot pin to a local machine shop and they made me a new one and I fixed my regulator as you have and saved myself a lot of money, which was scarce being 29 with a new wife and 1st kid. Great video as always.

Well done. You avoided the Porsche tax!

Thank you for the long form repair coverage, it really helps me see what I'm getting in to.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

You're welcome! I know it's not the most fun to watch unless you are digging in to these repairs. Best of luck on yours

[@GregsGarage]

Great stuff Tom!

[@jeffharrison5265]

Great work as always! Flights have come down a bit. If they drop just a little more (and you have an opening) I may just make it out. Fingers crossed.

[@jeffshappard8227]

Great video as always, Tom. And, I feel like your thorough methods of repair and improvement carries over to any method someone would want to use on a 911, et al.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks, and yes it seems 911 regulators are very similar.

Nice job, the springs normally take a larger preload, I had to make a tool to pre load them. I have found most are 90 degrees of spring compression. 356 WCH is getting close

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Good to know. I'll move springs around if need be.

[@mattk7795]

I agree, I would think you'd want enough preload to keep the window from unwinding over bumps. Thanks for your videos!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Will see, I feel that the forces are pretty neutral as is based on the luggage scale.

@@GarageTimeAutoResto don’t forget the stichion in the seals

Loving the trolls work bench. Is that your kids play room? Mom is gonna be mad!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

I know right. Kids may have outgrown this, but not me!

Instead of paint why not use Fluid Film?

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

You could. I think paint is longer lasting. Just a very light dusting is all that I did.
