ridders 0 Posted April 24, 2010 Hi all again, More help needed please. I'm in the process of changing over the two doors from the rusted early ones to nice rust free later ones. All was going well and the door is now fitted and working etc but the problem i have is this... The later doors came with electric windows so have that mechanism fitted inside the door to lift/raise the window. I want the original mechanical winder fitted from the original doors. I've started drilling out the old rivets that hold the mechanism in place from the new door in order to remove the old electric mechanism but is is right??? Before i go too far can someone just run through what the procedure is for removing the old mechanism and fitting the old one please? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIMONG 0 Posted April 24, 2010 if they are riverted on then yeah the only way of getttin them off would be to drill them. i would check to make sure all the fixing points are the same or there for the manual regs your fitting on the new doors you fitting im not sure if there would be a difference due to being electric? just be careful not to elongate the holes of the doors and regs. i take it you've got a rivet gun for refitting them or are you using nuts and bolts?

ridders 0 Posted April 24, 2010 Door inners look the same and have the necessary holes ready for the old style of winder. How does the winders/lifters come out of the doors (mechanical and the electric one)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIMONG 0 Posted April 24, 2010 this is what i ment by checking the inner door panels first to make sure the manual ones will fit your new doors before you start drill them and find they wont go in and your window has then no support. if this is the case once your door card is off, wind the window down and see how it is fixed to your window reg, im guessing it will some type clip or bung which might need pushing through the window. once the window is free from the reg pull the window back up in to the top part of the door. drill the rivets then take the reg out. once lose you may need power to it to wind it back down so its small and then easier to take out. then unplug it. repeat in reverse to fit the new one. dont forget to use you old door cards as they will have the hole for the manual window reg to poke through to put the handle window winder handle back on. this make any sense or help you in any way??? cheers Si.
