I'll order new parts today. With the door panel off, I'll replace the bad speaker too. It's the only speaker not working.

Thanks!

I had to grab my Gorilla tape. My neighbor called me late yesterday afternoon. The two suction cups didn't hold the window up. I taped the top and one side. With black window trim, you can't see the tape. You have to be up close. I could probably drive it and no one notice the tape. :
Since I had time, I reached into the door and felt around. I felt a string or spring of some kind. It wouldn't come out. The regulator is probably broken good. I ordered a replacement regulator from FCP. It's been almost a year since something broke on it. I might take it out of service next week. On the list, rear wheel bearings, new RR speaker, new regulator, and waxing.
