I replaced the motor/regulator years ago, and either the regulator was poorly designed, or I installed it incorrectly. It never worked properly. What I didn't realize is that while it was struggling up and down, it was also sawing away at the mounting holes with the bolt threads. The primary mounting holes on the door are now peanut-shaped. I tried securing a new regulator in there, but it won't work properly now. I need a new door with undamaged bolt holes (sadly, that inner skeleton is not removable from the door skin, I don't think!)
Sucks, since I have a custom paintjob that will need to be redone

Once that quits, the door is junk... unless i can manage to drill out the welds without fully compromising the rest of it!

Originally posted by deevergote View PostI wonder if I could weld washers in the locations where the mounting holes are supposed to be. Essentially just creating new mounting holes...
