Hyundai Window Regulator Bracket

thingiverse

This is a bracket that is part of the window regulator assembly of a Hyundai Veracruz.It probably fits other models as well. The factory part is too thin and the cables pull out causing the window to fall into the door. This one is designed to be much stronger. Print it with 100% fill in a higher temperature material like ABS or PETG. Orient the cable grooves vertically to get the best strength on the slide clip on the opposite side. It will require support. I found a minor problem with version 1 of the model that limits the window going down all the way (stops about 1cm short, so barely shows). I have corrected the issue in version 2, but have not removed the original version as I am not willing to take my door apart again to swap it out for the new design. If someone installs the new design please let me know it fixes the issue. If this part is broken it is likely that the winch cables are frayed and bent up. You will need to replace them as well. I tested two cables. The first was the correct diameter obtained from a bicycle shop. That type of cable is too stiff however and I found it was rubbing on the inside of the winch housing. I later switched to .062 cable obtained from the local hardware store that is more pliable. The original cables is slightly smaller in diameter, but the new cable fits anyway. You will need to put new crimp ends on the cable. I did not have a crimping tool, so I soldered a lump (plumbing solder) onto the cable. To keep the lump from dripping off, wrap some fine stranded wire around the cable where you want the blob. After the solder cools you will have to file it a bit to flatten the face that sits against printed part. I have had version 1 printed in PETG, installed for about a month without issue, even in 100F weather. Send me a message if you need any help.
