I have a 63 SWC.
I had my (2) vent window regulator "Restored" (don't remember by whom).
I lost 12 points for "worn Vent windows". There is approx 1/4 turn backlash in each.
I removed the backing plate, both gears are in new condition, show no wear.
So the back-lash is caused by the spacing of the gears to each other.
I tried to shim the pivot shaft either way, but the back-lash remains the same.
Should I remove the large gear, (which rotates the window), and add/retract to the shim ?
The rivet posts for the backing plate are still there, assuring me that the crank gear is on the correct centerline. Screws hold the plate in place.
Would that change the centerline of the gears to each other ?
Also, what is the best way to bend back the peened-over ridge ? (which holds the window pivot shaft assy plate in place)
I searched the archives, there were plenty of comments, but none which describe the back-lash adjustments.
