242 vs 244/5 manual window regulators 200

I've encountered a problem with the driver's side (USA) manual window regulator in my 1982 242. There seems to be confusion on other sites as to whether or not the 242 has a unique regulator compared to the 4 door cars. Of course, the door and window are longer. Some say you can use a 4 door regulator; some say the 242 has a unique regulator with longer arms and a stronger spring to help with the heavier window.

Anyone ever have 2 of these side by side? Hopefully I can repair mine...but if not, want to know what I can substitute.

I checked all 6 relevant Volvo parts catalogs and found all 1974 and later 140, 164, 240 and 260 used the same front door window regulators.

There are only 2 part numbers for all 2 and 4 doors with manual windows.

Right: 1211577

And yet....the 2 door arms are longer than the 4 door arms. Credit Jack on TB for pics....

4 door - note the number of holes = 3



2 door - note the number of holes = 4

Jack is wrong.

It appears he has his pictures mixed up.

Check his ebay ad for a rear manual window regulator and you will see it has arms with 4 holes.

So front door regs the same but a stronger spring on the 2 door?

Well, turns out I was able to clean/lube without removing the window and reg. Works like butter now. Thanks for help. I learned a little more about the mechanism should the need arise to replace it in the future.
