Hi all. From my limited experience, and from what I've read, one common failure point is the square plastic piece that rides along the metal bracket the window secures to. Reading Alistair Bells page here: https://shufti.blog/2011/01/27/vanagon-window-regulator-repair/ it seems one could make that part from a plastic cutting board. I highly doubt a company would bother making this part but has anyone found an aftermarket supplier of that square plastic piece? On a new poorly made window regulator I purchased from AZ Autohaus, I tried to transfer that plastic piece to my failed regulator. This did not work out.
