I've heard these are problematic,
i've avoided opening my widow frequently to avoid the hassles.
its hard not being able to shout abuse out the window every 5mins.
if it can now be fixed on the cheap, i wont worry about breakage.
Incidently,
what actually breaks on the window regs?
(or is that trade secret?)
i have one dead drivers side rear one in my car now and another one in the shed some where mate.
send me a pm with whats involved etc as i might be taking you up on this offer _________________

From what I've seen the cable type regulators in any cars just aren't as durable as the old 'scissor-type' arrangement you used to get in the 80's. All sorts of things go wrong with them, cables slip off the guide wheel as it wears down and get tangled, cable guides break, gears strip etc. A lof of the cable type ones don't have any sort of switch to tell them when the window is up fully so if people lean on the switches it can do them some damage etc etc. They're also a pain in the ass to install sometimes (crimping cable clamps on inside a door panel always sucks).
I've been driving around the 929 with both back windows about an inch down for the last year and a half damn frameless windows so I can't tape them up either! If my seats were cloth instead of leather they'd be soooo mouldy and soaked through by now.
Saying that, I hope the series 2 risto ones are better guess I'll find out a few months after mine lands if they're still working.
