On a 1965–67 Beetle the gear teeth wear, the arm bends and the spring weakens. Symptoms are a crank that spins without moving the glass, a window that drops by itself, clicking or grinding as you wind, or glass that tilts in the frame. A new regulator gives back smooth winding and holds the glass up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish supplier that has specialised in classic Volkswagen and Porsche parts for decades, and EMPI distributes the range in the USA.
