Has anyone ever seen a site or somewhere to get a replacement window regulator for the Quad cab manual front drivers side? I know the quad cabs are bigger. I can find the power all over the net but can't seem to find a manual reg. Trying to avoid to overpriced dealer.
I just happen to come across this thread since I have the same situation with my 2004 Dakota Quad cab 4x4 for the front driver`s side window.
If anyone can provide a source as to where I can get a replacement Manual Window Regulator for the front driver`s side for a QUAD cab not an EXTENDED cab.
I would much appreciate a detailed procedure on how to remove and replace the new regulator as well.
Thanks
I have looked al over, as of today I have yet to find anything, I assume they just stopped making them and only do power windows now, Ill repost if I find it but probably out of luck

My advice is, go find an OEM manual regulator in a junkyard. I speak from my experience with with power window regulators, available all over internet. They're Chinese made junk and probably not worth your time if you can even find one.
Late update to this story.... Well, the motor stopped working again shortly after my earlier "fix." Bought a China made regulator on Amazon and installed it... well that stopped working after about a month.
For ***** and giggles, I'd taken the original motor apart and found exactly what you'd expect. The brushes were worn down to almost zero. When the Chinese motor quit, I contacted the seller and they refunded my money, easy enough. Went straight to the junkyard, pulled an original motor out of a passenger door (less usage, plenty of brush life left when I looked), then installed it on the old driver's side regulator, which I'd had the forethought to save. I'm back in business now and the driver's window rolls up faster than all the rest. My advice... do not buy Chinese regulators. I pulled just the motor off the JY regulator and it was much cheaper than the whole shebang.
If it's the nylon block that is snapped on your regulator, there is some 3d printed ones which hold up better than the Chinese mass produced assemblies. I ordered a pack of 4 of them so when my other 3 windows finally die, I have them. My passenger rear had been replaced 3 times in the time I've owned it, all the same problem was the crappy nylon block.
