Can I beef up the new window regulator to keep it from breaking?
I got a used regulator today for my SC400's passenger window so it will work again. Is there a way to beef it up so it won't break again. If I recall it's the white plastic piece that breaks (been a while since I've seen the how to thread on fixing it), can I just slather that piece in JB Weld to keep it strong or what? Anyone have some ideas?

It doesn't break from stress, they last a decade or better.
Use it, enjoy it. Next time it breaks it'll be on some one else cause you won't have the car when it does.
Oh no actually you bought used so you're screwed.
These are cheap enough to buy new people! Plastic doesn't last forever.
The only good news is that I'll help you change it next time.

Actually that wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. To people who may come across this thread in the future, I didn't really have to get a 14mm wrench behind the window to get the nuts off. Well I did to remove them, but found another way when I was putting them back on that I'm sure would help during removal. The washer/nut on the closest side to you has 4 slots in it, use them to your advantage. I had a pair of needle nose pliers that are 90 degrees instead of just being straight like most. I spread the jaws until they fit in 2 opposite slots, and voila...they went back on and tightened down without a single problem.
