reb78 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 At some point I will be replacing all of the doors on my 1989 110. How have folks retrofitted electric windows to older vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've bought a second hand defender electric window mechanism and the panel it bolts too. I'm yet to fit it, but when I do, I will make and adjust brackets where needed. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=jon= Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've got the bits to fit the LR original electric window mechanisms to mine, I've jut not got round to it yet (it's been on my list for about 5 years!) There's a guide from one of the magazines that walks through it - https://issuu.com/mobilecentre/docs/lrm_electric_windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Ah, I see a theme here (I just replied to your CDL thread) My 90 had lift handle doors, so such modifications were only ever going to be home brew 😁. These doors have much slimmer door trims, so less space to squeeze things behind them. A mate had a pair of damaged doors off his early model Vectra lying about with the trim panels removed. Seeing such slim window motors led me to successfully have a go at grafting them into my 90's doors. Lots of hobnobs were consumed while figuring this out 🍪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigj66 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Would it be easier to try and find a set of Puma doors with the windows and CL already fitted and then adapt your loom to suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like a bad price and even if they are just genuine parts, they have got the kit together with everything needed. Being a 110 - i would like to do the rear doors as well (mainly so I can open windows for the dogs from the front). I will look into the parts. Presumably if I look at LRCat and follow the TD5 section it should have the parts necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a full set of brand new doors to go on the 110. The front set are puma era but they are completely bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Looking on LRCat, I cannot find electric window regulators for the rear doors. I assume they exist? Can anyone point me in the right direction for the LR part numbers? There is a kit on ebay but its more expensive than the Masai kit for the front doors.

Mo Murphy Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I didn't think they had them as standard Rich. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Indeed. Never offered from the factory, aftermarket kits exist as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate has an all singing all dancing 2012 110 and it has wind up windows in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger110 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 My xs spec 2011 has wind up windows in the rear. I can't see how you can get electric windows to fit in the rear, the door angle is to sharp near the bottom for the windows to open fully without the rails fouling it?
