Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I heard that there was a company that rebuilds regulators. This is the 3rd time in 4 years that I have had to replace the rear driver unit and i'm sick of paying so much for parts that just break again. Anyone have a line on a good service? one that actually gives a warranty. Someone told me that there were metal parts that could be used to prevent this again. HELP ME

POST 3Original post

I just replaced both rear window regulators on my 996 Cab. It's a bit of a PITA. I've done it so many times that I have two sets and send them out for rebuild as they wear out. It's just not a very robust design unfortunately. The place I now use is https://powerwindowrepair.com

There's a place in Florida that does them for a fair price too. I think around $175 to repair the rear regulator. I'll see if I can find their info.
