Tailgate electric regulator help!!!!

[Achilles]

Should all the screws securing the regulator to the tailgate have a stand off. I took mine apart today and there were only 3. There are 6 screws holding it to the body.

If I remember correctly, yes.

[Achilles]

Thanks, I guess it is time to fabricate some stand offs then.

There are only 3 screws with the stand off/spacer and star washer.

[Achilles]

I guess the orientation of where they go will be obvious once I lay the regulator back in place?

IIRC it is one at the bottom and two at the top and the regulator has to be positioned just right to access all three.

I have an extra set somewhere, every one I've taken apart had them on every screw.

I'll dig around and see if I can find them.

[Achilles]

I will pay + enough to priority mail them.

[Achilles]

Did you find them baby wag.

[babywag]

Not yet, but I know there are many out there...somewhere.
No kids tomorrow during the day, I'll look again.

[HOOT]

parts book does call out for quantity of 6 spacers.

[Achilles]

Thanks for confirming this Hoot.

I'ts been a while since I've seen any of my regulators, but I swear none of them had 6 screws with spacers. Lol! Sorry about that Achilles.

[Achilles]

When I turned my regulator over after I removed it, I could see distinct circular wear marks where all the screws were on it. Their is definitely a few more signs that the PO had been monkeying around in there. The more I try to fix the more I find.

Found these...you owe me, took well over an hour to find these little critters.

Shoot me a PM if you're still interested.
