My semi-circle gear came off the window regulator on driver's side. does anyone know of a way of re-fastening it back on or would it be better to buy a new one? It's like $75 part |

The welds failed on mine as well. I just bought a new one. The passenger side seems on its way to failure. Seems to be a regular defect on these parts. |

i suppose the wear and tear on the front ones make them susceptible to failing. i was just curious if there was anything to be done besides getting a new one. thanks |

Vince there is. Drill out the welds on the half moon and then take it to a welding shop. Have them redo the spot welds and then weld along the the gap between the 2 pieces (added strength). They will have to grind this weld here down a bit to get full motion from the regulator. Total price to fix mine on the Disco was $15. While you have it out look at the nylon rollers there. If there are damaged then it is a good time to replace them. I just used a screen window roller available at any home improvement store.
Hope this helps..
