LandyOwner63 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have an ex-MoD 1987 FFR Land Rover 90 that has sliding windows in the passenger and driver doors. The window lock is a large knob that you twist to lock or un-lock the sliding windows. Unfortunately, the window lock on the driver door doesn't work and you can easily open the window and reach in to un-lock and open the door. Do I need to replace the window lock assembly as a whole or can I repair it? If I need to replace it, does anybody know the part number? Thanks.

dave88sw Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It depends what has happened to it, if you drill out the rivets holding the lock in you'll be able to see whats gone wrong. It's really very simple and just has a cam type thing on the back that pushes a wedge in under the glass to stop it sliding. On mine the cam had fallen off and was lying in the door.

LandyOwner63 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I have taken the window catch/lock off the door and it appears to be all there. I now suspect that the small tongue that presses up on the bottom edge of the windows is worn. I will see if it is possible to build it up with some araldite. If not, then I will see about getting hold of a new lock assembly. Unfortunately, the newer locks come with a lever rather than a knob, but I might be able to swap the knob on mine for the lever on the new one. These are images of my current lock.
