Looking for a 65 window winder Mechanism

[paddymac]

Went to start my beetle over the weekend and all going well until I went to lower the passenger window and thump.
took off the card panel and found the whole wiper mechanism has suffered a fatal dose of tin worm.
VW heritage does not have the 65 Mechanisms

By any chance would there be one out there please?

Cheers

I have a complete '65 door I could sell. Must check which side it is and get back to you...

 

[paddymac]

that is great, passenger side I am looking for.
How much?
Cheers
again

your luck is in, the door is a passenger side one. winder mech works perfectly, small bit stiff but would be fine with a bit of lube

quarterlight opens and closes smoothly and all the chrome bits are good, inside and out.

has to be worth €60 for the lot? It's in Co. Laois BTW

... small bit stiff but would be fine with a bit of lube

yep, I've heard that too...:grin:

As usual Ive got one but Trev beats me to it, cant wait till Ive finished sorting my stock of parts so I can start getting rid!!!

 

[trev]

you need to be quick on the draw!!

seriously, my stash is getting smaller and taking a swing towards watercooled shite so it's easier to remember what I have.

 

[paddymac]

€60 it is then, where in Laois are you? any chance of meeting up in somewhere near the motorway. Will be traveling form Bandon Co. Cork?
Cheers again to all

Ralph

 

[trev]

yeah I can meet you at Midway, where the Cork road meets the M7 motorway. I'll PM you my number. When were you thinking of making the trip?

 

[paddymac]

Trev I was thinking Sunday morning if that suits? any idea if the winder mechanics are in good shape to remove and replace? that is the bits the window runs up and down on?
Cheers

[trev]

I'll remove the doorcard and check the condition of the mech

oh, sunday morning is fine

 

[paddymac]

many thanks
Will pm my phone number to you aswell

peeled back the doorcard to reveal a surprisingly solid winder mechanism, even the channel the glass sits in appears to have paint still on it!!

I'll PM you my number now
