Feedback on New Window Regulator Sources?

[eastsidebimmer]

I need to replace the driver's side window regulator in my 1600 and was wondering if anyone had luck with the unit from AutohausAZ or BavAuto (BMW branded?) Anyone know what item arrives when you order 51 32 1 801 135 from a dealer? They are all about the same price, I'm just looking for the best option. Thanks!

AutohausAZ part looks to have the roller attached:

BavAuto part comes without roller?

arm's end. IIRC the pin that holds the roller and is spring is swedged to the arm.

Did you try repairing your old one, or is it too far gone?

Ha. My Tech Tip Compendium has an article listing a 70's regulator price of $40. There are two repairs for the broken rivet pins. Use a 1/2" by 3/4" (or metric equivalent) bolt and nut. The bolt head is ground down with a slot sawn in it. The PN for the Mercedes rivet kit is #115.586.0.172. Hopefully this number is still useful.

We can get you that one for sure that one without the roller must be defective.
