Title: Electric windows
Post by: rowlers on 08 May 2007, 15:46: Just had word from GSF that they don't have any stocks of the electric window kits for the the MK2 Golf and will not be stocking it in future - gutted!

Anyone know where else I can get new electric window motors/regualtors from??

Would buy from the stealers but I dread to think what it will cost!!!

GPCvwaudi may have something. They are in Hitchin.

Better off posting a 'wanted' on forums me thinks :smiley:

only buy genuine parts!

Post by: rowlers on 08 May 2007, 18:21: Tried the wanted section, loads of generous offers, but they are as old as mine are, so there is no guarantee that they will work for very long, and for the trouble of swapping them, may as well buy new!

Forgot about GPC, got my sunroof seal from them!!!

"Window Regulator Electrically operated" - no longer available according to ETKA 7

Windows Regulator motor is Ã‚£186 +VAT!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'll take mine to bits and repair before I pay that!!!

cheers
