<VV> Windows

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

I often say that the driver's window is the part that receives the most wear 
on any car. I NEVER get into ANY of my cars without opening (and then 
shutting, of course!) the driver's window - even in cold old Britain!

Sometimes I haven't even started the car, but open the window anyway (e.g. 
when I am pushing cars round the shed).

The only part that I can think of that receives more wear is the driver's 
door hinges, and they are more robust (if you keep them oiled!).

I haven't checked, but I will be surprised if the vendors don't do repro 
window lift kits - and I can't think of a better way to spend your time and 
money. Why not install electric ones while you're about it? I think there's 
an article in the Tech Guide about how to do it.

Cheers

Alan
