That have a breaking strength up in the... 200lbs of force range. ? I used them in a bout 4 locations to hold the motor in/and to not shift, until I can find a new motor mount!

I have an extra door so you could have the regulator for like $10 if it's a match (if you're in milwaukee0

Motors still fine? on Wed, 09 Jul 2014 02:25:38 GMT]]>This was the first DIY project I ever did on my car. I had no prior car experience what so ever. It was so simple. The only problem with the zip tie fix is you don't know if it will work until you take everything apart. In my case the cord was all messed up and tangled. I splurged and spent 150$ on a regulator from the dealer. I've seen mixed reviews on the other brands. Some say they work for years others say they fail within a year I can't comment on the off brand ones. But as far as saving money. Just do it yourself it's super easy
