i got a drama with my 1991 nissan patrol front electric window winder. the plastic bush between the motor and the winder sharft has stripped. i went to nissan and they only sell the whole winder unit for $273. does anyone know of a after market job i can score . its not worth $273 for a plastic bush any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem with
mine a few years ago. There isn't an aftermarket one, all you can you is phone around the wreckers.
Mine cost $100 in the hip pocket, a bit dear but still the cheapest in town. Those guys really know how to work you for every cent.

Jim
Have you got an engineering machine
shop close by? For between $15 to $50 depending on how they charge they can machine one from nylon rod. You might need to take the other side one out as a sample.
I made a couple of my own on the lathe at work.
