Hey guys! Looking for a driver front window regulator. The Dorman aftermarket option is discontinued, looks like. :cry: Anyone have a used, good one available? 1985 Wagon

These are a common thing to fail on these cars so good used ones are hard to come by. If you have any wreckers near you, the tercel hatchbacks from 83-86 used the same driver front door window regulators. You also might try repairing the one you have, I think xirdneh here did a video or something on how he has repaired them. Just a few other options in case no one here has one for you.

Great feedback, thank you! Also good news, I got an email back from Dorman. They are not discontinued, just out of stock, and did not have an eta. That's somewhat hopeful! I'll definitely look into repairing it.

I found xirdneh's video, here it is. The window regulator portion begins around the 4 minute mark.
