[urq] window regulators

[Johan Hisinger]

today I ordered new pattern window regulators from Quattrocorner for both 
sides to the MB. I can't wait to install them, I'll let you know how they 
fit.

I actually opened the old regulator assembly and the wire was in really bad 
shape, also the plastic guide was broken, so I decided not to start 
repairing the old ones.
