'65 power window stuff



My '65 windows have been getting more and more crotchety,
finally reaching the point where only the driver's door main
window was operating.  I dug in last night after work,
pulling the passenger front door panel.  The factory service
manual was nearly useless in this area, and I think I
remember other discussions along those lines on the list. 
Anyhow, I got the complete regulator assembly out and
disassembled, tested the motor and found it usable, cleaned
and greased everything, and put it all back together.  I
only got slapped once on the leg with the spring loaded arm,
which prompted me to chuck the bracket into my vice and
reassemble everything that way.  

It goes up and down great now, using the master switch, but
the door switch still doesn't work.  I figure I can work on
that aspect later since it is easy to get to.  I didn't try
to remove the vent window assembly though.  I used some
spray lube on the pivot and just blindly sprayed some down
in the direction of the gear housing and motor, and in fact
did get the vent window working.  However, I would really
like to go ahead and pull those vent window motors on both
sides and clean and grease up the gears properly.  Any tips
on this process?  I figure if I want to completely
disassemble everything I can pull the vent assembly out of
the door, but I was hoping I can do something short of
that.  

I've entered it in the Nats participant field for the first
time along with my '72 Cuda, and Kathi says she'd be glad to
go over in the Imperial, leaving the Cuda to the boys, as
long as the windows are working...just a few more to work
on!  Also, all of the air conditioning parts are present,
including everything for the rear air, but non working for
now.  Have members found that replacement items like
evaporator, drier, etc are readily available?  This probably
will be a future project.
