| So my driver's side window rotated 90 degrees and dropped into the door. It went up OK, but the regulator and motor need to be replaced. I was quoted $600 for a new one, so if anyone has one used for significantly less, I could use one ASAP. | |

| Buy the whole door. Go in & ask for the latch that engages the striker. They wont go in after it so they'll offer up the whole door for cheap $ Worked for me with 1 of the more expensive JY around here | |

| Are all '91-'96 sedan/wagon/Roadmaster/Caprice regulators interchangeable? | |

1991-1996 b69's are the same. sometimes you can get away with just the guide. Its not listed in the parts catalog. Part # 20369895 less than $20. | |

| It just turns, drops, and then comes back up just fine, so I can't imagine the whole shebang needs to be replaced. I might try an auto glass shop and see what they can do. It only cost $50 worth of labor and glue when the windows on my '69 Thunderbird acted up . | |

| Did it actually turn a full 90°?
Are you sure it's not just a window roller? | |

| Pull the door panel and check the window rollers, there are 2 of them and they fail like its their job. | |

| I didn't have time to check it myself; the mechanic said the regulator was falling apart. Hopefully I'll have some free time with daylight to take a look myself, especially since he reinstalled the mirror control sideways . | |
