The drivers side window crank handle broke off at the door panel, piece broke off even with the panel on my 40 Tudor. Is this piece currently reproduced or do I need to replace the entire regulator? Crank was very tight when rolling window up and down.

Sounds like you may need a new regulator. If anyone is reproducing this part I am not aware of it. I'm assuming you are talking about the square that the handle pin goes in. Also, I would check to see if the window is in the L shaped felt track correctly. If things get out of line I have seen the glass "bunch" the felt up and cause stiff rolling up. Also, this can happen at the vent window felt for that matter.

The felt is long gone... The window would get tight about half way up or down. This message was edited by Chris in MA on 7-20-10 @ 7:47 PM

If the square shaft is the part that broke, try Regulator Roy, 609-828-8537. He has a large supply of regulators for cars. If it was the handle that broke (more likely) they are reproduced and C&G has them in their catalog. In either case, you should replace the fuzzy strips to prevent broken glass or other parts.

Regulator repair kits for sedans are often available on ebay. What happened is not unusual. The stem is white metal and very susceptible to breakage, especially after years of use. If you don't want to rebuild your regulator, NOS units can be had for sedans rather easily. Usually in the $50 range.
