FOMOCO . ;) A nice used original will cause the least amount of issues. Given the number of cars produced there are literally thousands of nice used ones still in the wild. If you can't find any I most likely have some off of junked out doors.

I have a set of originals but the teeth are very worn.

Not all originals are going to have worn teeth. It sounds like you need to find another set. The repros will work but typically do not have as smooth of a action as original quality.That is why many don't like to use them. I agree A 1 800 repro parts number is the easy button here.

Seldom are we able to put a used 1967 or 1968 door window regulator in stock at WCCC. Over 90% of the ones I check have very bad slipping clutches. Can push windows up or down all the way or a few inches.
