I have had this problem with every Toyota I have owned 2 1st gen & 3 2nd gen pickups. what makes these window crank systems fail so often. These gears seem to be weak so is there any way to fix them stronger, I don't want to fix theme with stock parts if they are prone to failure. any suggestions would help thnx Last edited by kewlynx; 12/03/07 06:39 AM. 84 TOY P/U 35"Boggers 5"SUSPENTION 2"SHACKEL LIFT TRU-TRAC FRONT DETROIT REAR 5.29 GEARS COSTOM FABED BUMPERS & SLIDERS, MARLIN 4:70:1 CRAWLER T-CASE Re: window probs [Re: TOY84OTA] #849948 12/03/07 10:40 AM Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 3,568 Grass Valley, CA Snowtoy Roll Me Over Common problem with the earlier Toyota's, especially those w/o A/C. There isn't a lot you can do to reinforce the gears, no way to harden them. You could fab up new ones out of steel plate, but that isn't going to be quick/easy. Fortunately you can still get replacement window regulators, check JCWhitney. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
