Manual front windows...

[driversdomainuk 8]

HI All

 

How easy is it to convert the electric windows on the 1.9 to manual winders found on standard models? Do I just need the in-door mechanism for each side? As it's a partly track car, I'm trying to go back to basics and the electric ones on mine are awful - either don't work or really slow.....

 

Thanks

Yes, it's as simple as that. You don't even need to cut a hole in the door card, those little round plastic blanks just unclip and the winders fit in their place. The mechanisms need to come from a 3 door 205, not a 5 door.

can use the winder cog and spring from a 5 door mech in place of the electric motor quite easily in the existing mechanism, too.
