[Wanted: Parts] One piece windows

[podsyb]

I'm currently doing a bit of work on a 1303 with One Piece Windows Fitted ,But both of them dont operate properly because the winder mechanisms are worn ,I haven't opened the panels yet to see what they are but hoping someone here might shed some light on what type I need ,is it 60s winders I need ?and would anyone have a pair or know if they can be bought new (Britt knows the car )

See above

 

[trev]

the ideal winders to have are the '65 twin-lifter style cos the lift channel is so wide, they stop the window from tilting as it rises and falls.

I fitted piece windows on a 1303 years ago.Never worked right.Fuckers always tilted forward when winding them up.The late great George Campbell told me to get mid 60s winder mech for exactly the reason Trev posted above.Of course I as usual never bothered me hole.They were a right pain in the arse apart from that anyway as they leaked like fuck..I like the look of them though.Wonder are modern kits more Irish weather resistant?

 

[trev]

doubt it Johnny. They always seemed a compromise to me. I had a beetle once upon a time that came with one-piece windows. I converted it back to quarterlights...

 

[podsyb]

I had them in my last beetle ,they operated grand but found the scrapers and seals were crap

Anyone have any mid 60s genuine window regulators ,from talking to Jon he explained that the repro ones wouldn't be good enough to support one piece glass suggesting genuine was the way to go

Bump
