Does anyone have a source for window regulators? My rear driverside appears to be broken where it holds the window. A junk yard appears to be my only option, but since I've seen door handles and window motors at some of the parts web sites I thought id ask before getting dirty

 

OK i found a junk yard that actually has a std price list for parts $23 for a headlight assembly any car, Window reulator $19 any car. Theire in Stanton CA (pick-u part). If I find any Mazdas Ill post a list of models and years.

 

I recently went to a Pick-n-Pull for a turn signal switch. It was an interesting experience as I've never been to such a place before. The good thing about Pick-n-Pull is their website allows you to seach for a specific vehicle at one of their locations.

They charge $2 to walk into the yard and stamp the back of your hand also. This way you can walk in and out back to your car if you need to get more tools. The car I was picking parts from had been in a severe accident and I couldn't even get the driver door open. I had to do my operation through a smashed window.

The steering wheel came off easy enough as I had a puller. Was able to remove the switch, pack up all my tools and head back out. I showed the guy up front the switch and asked him how much he wanted. He just waived at me and said goodbye, no extra charge. They mostly charge for the big chunky metal parts, not small pieces like what I had. What a deal for me, now my turn signal actually works and cancels, the 1st time in 2 years!

 

The had a Mazda Protege, a couple of 626's (sorry not sure what years), but I got my head light and a slightly cracked tunsignal and side marker $45 from what I think was a 92 626.
