    Coupe blues

    Anybody else have problems finding parts for a coupe when the same parts are plentiful for sedans?

    My dilemma: my passenger side window regulator broke, and no matter where I go, no one can order the appropriate part so I can replace mine. For a USED one on eBay, the seller wants $75 plus shipping, and no one can order a manual window regulator for a coupe, they are all for sedans! Went to the junkyard and the regulator in the coupe was already broken and the one in the sedan was in good shape but doesn't fit.

    I've been looking for the sunroof glass for my coupe. It is a different part number than the sedan glass. Only one I found in the last two months was also cracked. If I come across a coupe, I'll grab the passenger regulator (the coupe I found with the cracked glass is now gone).

    Edit: Just to be clear, you're talking about the Sentra, correct?

      car-part.com is usually a good source for hard to find parts. Many on there are overpriced, but I've seen some good deals.
      Also can't go wrong with RockAuto.

        I just looked at RockAuto. They have a passenger side coupe regulator (manual window) for $48.

          Yes, the Sentra, when I called the junkyards, they said 91-94's will work. That would be great, I also have a friend in Virginia looking, I'll be sure to let you know if he finds one.

                She's talking about her Sentra, I believe (a bit misleading since she didn't specify, on an Accord forum...)
