Title: Window Hardware
Post by: 340Challman on May 10, 2021, 05:44:17 PM
Hi Guys, with the collective experience of the forum, who do you recommend as a retailer/vendor for all of the door and quarter window hardware? I'm looking for all of the plastic pieces and anything that wears and should be replaced. Who's are the best and who should I stay away from? Also, who do you recommend for restoring the regulators as well?
Thanks in advance.

When it comes to parts, I think we will always recommend Roseville Moparts....you can't go wrong with those guys. :twothumbsup:

Unfortunately Roseville lists next to nothing in the way of window hardware. They only list some for the quarter windows and they are out of stock on those. No other options? Classic Industries shows some. Anyone have experience with them?

And how about the restoration the regulators? Would that be SF Restorations? I'm hesitant with shipping anything international to Canada right now.
Thanks.

I don't know of anyone restoring regulators.  I had great results getting mine soda blasted.  It took care of all the caked on/dried out grease.  Another member recently posted pics of his after a bath in evaporust.  In both cases, they came out looking excellent.

I bought most of my window parts from Resto Rick:

Soda blasting sounds great. I was thinking about media blasting, but didn't want to impact the plating on them. I hadn't thought of soda. :bigthumb:

Classic Industries is right around the corner from me. I use them pretty exclusively, they know me by name LOL!
Never had a problem with their parts. Always seems to fit, reasonably priced, they have lots of sales, etc.
