The Ford Barn

i am wondering about the quality of the window regulators that are available now.

i haven't bought one in about 10 years, at that time they were made in Argentina and were crap. dismantle and rebuild the new regulator was necessary.
guess what, i just pull the rear regulator out of my 28 and it has one of those pc of crap in there.
as well as the mounting studs being wrong, and the spring being too week, the drive shaft were the handle fits on is too short, at least 1/2' shorter than a ford one.

i am looking for an opinion on the new ones being offered. has anyone installed one recently?

thanks
