Window Regulator Compatability

Window Regulator Compatability
I have an '89 Civic DX 3dr Hatch. I have non-power windows and the regulators in both doors are messed up. I'm having lots of trouble finding new regulators. Everything I see is for a 4dr. I would prefer to get new non-power regulators but i'm willing to get powered ones if I can find them. My question is are the regulators for the front doors of a 4dr fit in the 2dr? Thanks in advance.

4 door regulators are definitely not compatible. You can still buy a new one for the left door here:

The right door may take some digging. I wouldn't mess with a used driver's door regulator since they take heavy wear from drive-thrus, toll booths, etc. but used should be OK for the right.

4 door can be made to fit actually.
You swap the rails from the manual regulator to the power one. I've seen a diy on it and found the regulators myself to do it one day.
If you find power locks in a 4 door, grab the front door latches and look rods while you're taking out the regulators. OEM power locks!
