Anyone know why the operation of window winders become so stiff.... and how do you fix it? is it just a matter of replacing the regulator? |

It is most likely to be the 40 year old grease gumming the regulator up. Try a squirt of WD40 to free it up but the real solution is to remove the regulator, clean off all the old grease and apply fresh grease. I recently had the same problem on my Morris 1100, they use very similar regulators. |

Dry and dirty rubbers and runners can also hinder the operation. Dry lube works well. |
