My Vanagon's passenger window is sloppy and rocks side-to-side. Will this kit fix that?

Yes, that sounds exactly like the problem this Manual Window Regulator Rebuild Kit is designed to solve. Worn-out plastic guide components are the most common cause of a window rocking in its channels. This kit provides faithful reproductions of those three essential guide parts to get your window moving smoothly again.

How many kits do I need to buy to fix my whole van?

You'll need to purchase TWO kits to rebuild both the driver's side and the passenger's side windows. The kit is sold individually, so make sure you double up if you plan on fixing both sides.

Will this kit fix a broken window crank or gear mechanism?

This specific kit only addresses the plastic guide components within the regulator that cause a window to be sloppy or inoperable. It will not fix issues with the regulator's gear, internal spring, or if the window crank splines are worn or broken. You'll want to assess those parts separately.

Is this kit for power windows or the manual hand-crank type?

This kit is specifically designed for the manual, roll-up window systems found in Vanagon models from 1980-1991. If your Vanagon uses a hand crank to operate the window, this is the correct rebuild kit for improving its movement.

Proposition 65: This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

The original plastic guides in your manual window regulators often wear out and fall apart, rendering the window action sloppy at best, and inoperable at worst. These replacement parts are a faithful reproduction of all three of the regulator guide components.

If your window rocks side-to-side in the window channels, this is the kit for you!

Kit sold individually. If you need to rebuild BOTH sides, you must order TWO kits.

NOTE: If the regulator gear, spring, or window crank splines are worn-out or broken, this kit will not address those problems.
