[doc] Re: Power window trouble

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas, 

Those OEM window regulators are notorious for breaking on the 
plastic elbow near the motor; they are very brittle, especially 
after 24 odd years of service.
Mine have been bodged together several times with fibreglass and 
metal brackets, but I am gonna bite the bullet and get some new 
ones. 

The new replacement window motors/regulators have a metal elbow and 
so won't break like the OEM ones, but they are apparently a little 
trickier to fit.

The best price I have found for these is from Ed Uding in Holland, 
he is surprisingly well priced, even after postage and packaging are 
included.

It's best to change as much as you can in the doors whilst you have 
the door trim off. Those trim pieces can start to look a bit shabby 
if you end up removing & refitting them too many times.
