window regulator problems
window regulator problems ok this is now my 5th f-body so when i decided to fix the window motor i figured no big deal i've changed countless motors no biggie.......i was wrong
so the initial problem was the window wouldn't roll all the way up and when pulled up it would fall again so i figured broken teeth so i pull the door apart and found this
at some point in the past someone changed the regulator (i'm assuming) broke one of the mounting points for the stock rivets and decided to just go ahead and drill new holes to mount it and now the bolts holding it in have created their own grooves making the whole assembly move up and down
i figure the best way to fix is just re-do the rivets but have no idea where to find them OR if i can figure out someway to mount in the new spots and get it to stop moving up and down
any ideas? am i thinking too far into this??

I am having to replace my power window motor shortly as well. I am gathering information and came across this part number for the rivets.

Not sure how to go about fixing the damage already done to the door though.

The best known fix is to create a mounting plate to sandwich to the inside of the door skin. This tread gives guidance: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...-included.html
