Replacing the window regulator motor in my 325i… Found a cracked portion in the regulator, it’s literally an inch long. If anyone has a welder ready and can just do a quick repair on it, I’d really appreciate it. Will throw in $5 for the 1 minute of work it will take. If you could help tonight would be awesome as I am going on a trip tomorrow and looking to re-install the window reg before then!! I will bring the part with me and can stop by at your place after 8:30 PM or so. If you can help and are within 10-15 mi. from Latham, hit me up anytime tonight until 11 PM, thanks!!

Thanks… Think it’ll be strong enough? That part of the reg seems to be under a LOT of stress when pushing up on the window… ---

It’ll probably crack right off the second the regulator flexes now that I think about it, but it’ll last long enough to get your window up. ---

> [@bennyfizzle"](#): > > It’ll probably crack right off the second the regulator flexes now that I think about it, but it’ll last long enough to get your window up. I think I’ll try and get someone to weld it, I don’t want to have to pull off the panels to do regs again if that should happen… Supposedly tensile strength is 3960 psi for JB though, pretty strong, but in a sudden impact with plenty of momentum it could well give. Edit, lap shear strength is even lower, 1040 psi… Hmmmm, I’ll hold out for welding maybe… ---

I wouldn’t go as far as to say 30second to 1 minute of work, but yeah close enough(gotta remove the galvanized coating first to do it right) Maybe 3 minutes :lol I’d do it for you if I was going to be around tonight… ---
