[Alpines] window regulator and wiper questions

[Bill Mounce]

Hello all

 

The Paperweight project is moving forward, dash installation is proving to
be, uh, challenging.  I never realized how large my hands were until I went
to assemble the heater controls with the dash in situ!   Luckily I checked
my wipers and they were not working, so with everything disassembled
replacing the wipers was no problem.  That leads to my first question, is
there any value in a wiper assembly that does not work?  Can is be rebuilt
or is it junk?  Further, does anyone want it?

 

Next, my driver's side window regulator works, but when I get it cranked all
the way up (glass currently removed), the handle keeps going.  In order to
roll it down, I need to push down on it to engage the teeth, and then it
rolls down just fine.  Is my regulator shot, or am I merely missing a piece
that limits its travel?

 

Thank you, 

 

Bill
