The window regulators in Chrysler products used leather washers and plastic bushings. After years of service, the original washers and bushings are often worn or missing. Replacement washers and bushings are now available from the address shown below.
Leather Washers
The leather washers correspond to part number 6000141 and was used from 1957 to 1964. Some parts books specify two leather washers on each regulator while some specify four washers per regulator. Others say the washers are used "as required" with no specific quantity per car.
This leather washer is also used in the tailgate window regulator (4 per car) and in the Imperial convertible top mechanism (4 per car).
Installation hint: Saturate the washer with white
grease and start it on the stud with finger pressure. Press the washer
down on the stud by using a small 7/16" socket with finger pressure.

Bushings
The bushings correspond to part number 2166511. Two bushings are used on each each rear regulator (1960 to 1964) on coupes only. No bushings are used on convertibles. The bushing is not used on the front regulators.
