teabag Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yes, for the basic model. http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=813178&SPRACHE=EN So just search the part numbers on web for a stockist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 ooh thats nice to know. I can't abide electric windows...I think they're a pain in the rear door... If I get a fault with any of mine it will be back to manual sharpish to be honest I knew they were available at some point because some one has converted my 300tdi to electric and the holes for the winders are still in the door panels.

They knew how to manufacture the kit back then maybe.But saying that it's only my disco that I've had problems, the window regulators failed on three windows over the years perhaps because they are hardly opened due to AC running most of the time.

Boydie Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm still waiting on getting a price from the suppliers they are beyond being slow !!!!! but yes, I've had two scares crossing deepish creeks where the motors have failed until they fully dry out, and on neither occassion was the water up to that height, simply splashing around inside the doors and getting water into the wiring loom seems to be enough to stop the window operation and the thought of not being able to open or close the window is a concern so a manual winder is the way to go.
