I am in search for a window regulator for my 65 American (2dr) driver's door. Are these items left or right, or universal?? What range of years/models utilized the part I seek?? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Left and right are not the same; they are mirror images of each other. Also, a hardtop uses a different regulator than a post car. 64 through 69 have the same doors, so the regulators should be the same. Another model, maybe the Classic, used the same doors.

Not sure, but I believe the Classic door is longer which would mean that the window regulator would be different than the American. '64-'69 American hardtop is the one you want.

63-64 Classic use the exact same door shell, window frame is aluminum.
That regulator should work. I've never measured the door lengths to see if they changed on the 65-66 Classic Ambassador. I could though. Hard top or sedan? |

According to my Hollander interchange manual you can use the regulator from the same side from the Hard tops And convertibles from these models.
64-69 American, 63-64-65-66 Classic & Ambassador, and 65-66 Marlin. |

Hardtops/convertibles have two arm regulators and sedans have one arm regulators.
I don't have one for a hardtop but I repaired one that I had by replacing the sector gear. If you have a broken regulator maybe it can be fixed. |

I think the vendors have a new sector gear for that application if your problem is broken teeth on that gear. And in 1966 I think they changed mid-year to a Type II version of that regulator. Get a good look at your part and then call one of the vendors like APD or Kennedy American and explain your problem. They might have a solution other than finding another used regulator. Joe
