R&R Window regulator, 97 GT

[carlover626]

Well I have been searching, although I haven’t located anything.
Does anyone have instructions on replacing the MANUAL window regulator on a 1997 GT 2 door?
The dealer first quoted me $400.00 Parts and Labor for replacement :eek: , then got the techs down to $300.00 parts and labor. I can get the part online for $85.00, but I have not seen anything on R&R of the regulators here :???: .
Anyone replaced one of these before?

THANKS!

be sure to get the right rivets. No standard ones work because they need to be very shallow. It should only take 30-60 minutes work very slow. I have '97 4DR and did my quickly.
