I've just started to replace my door and quarter glass. I have all new glass from Vintage Glass. I see theres hardware that needs removed from the old glass at the bottom. Looks like there might be some rubber washers included in the bracket install. Are these reused or replaced? Also notices other parts like nylon rollers and other parts that may need replaced. Question 1. Who's a good parts supplyer for these door/window parts? Question 2, I'm ,,,THINKING,, about converting to power windows, looks like no big deal. Just need a reputable company for a power window kit. I know theres no way in hell ide find a complete rebuidable system in a salvage yard. Thanks, any info appreciated... Rich...
Here you can see what I did: http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?th...ows-and-power-door-locks.335334/#post-2825895 Everything worked out pretty well.
Personally I would find an original set. I had a couple of extra sets before my garage was broken into. I am still finding things that I did not even know I was missing. Hopefully below will help.

...agree; motors fit fairly wide range of cars and show up for sale fairly often, and no adapting. Read this first http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/PW.htm then this one for locks http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/pdl.htm The PDLs are admittedly harder to find (rarer option, took me several years), biggest problem is sellers misrepresenting/not knowing what they have. Bracket shape/dimensions critical for door dimples, and to lesser extent rod (modifiable). Here's what correct 2dr L/R brackets/rods (both same) look like and dimensions.
