Window mech repair kit.
« on: 13 December 2013, 13:16 »
Anyone know if you can get the repair kit anywhere other than the dealers as they are now quoting over £60 for one when i bought it for £34 + vat last time? Think you can get the whole panel for about £80 from euros...

Yeah, i'll have a look. The last time it happened i had to replace the whole lot, clips & cables as i ended up with a birds nest in the door. Not looking forward to doing it either as last time my mate who worked for an auto glaziers helped, but he's not about any more.

Is it the same for a 2 or 4 door, or are they different?

No they are different due to the cable lengths

You can get the 5 door repair kit from euros for 35quid still. I did mine in the summer you need to drill out the standard rivets and then bolt the new one in.

Bought one this morning for £34, it's not the repair kit it's the whole panel (the repair kit is just the cables & clips etc & was easy to fit) so not looking forward to fitting this TBH.
