Default window regulator

K so I had this fixed once before by a shop because the door was pretty fubared by whoever half *** repaired it before I got it. Anyways now the whole window regulator assembly shifted slightly and is causing a huge strain on the motor which over time killed it. I had to drill out the rivets for the mounting of whatever to try and realign it. Anyone have a part number for the rivets so I can call the dealerships to try and get them?

Part number is in post #5 of this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...or-rivets.html

Is this the problem that you are having? https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...-included.html (If so, you'll need more than new rivets to fix the issue...)

You should read the thread above and inspect the work before they put your door panel back on and you take delivery. If they screw this up, then you could end up needing an entirely new door.

$15 of the wrong rivets - or using a bolt instead of a rivet can cost you a $300 door. ... plus painting.

Yeah I will but these are the same people that built my exhaust so I trust them more than another place. At least if he screws my door he'll pay me for a new one.
