Manual Roll Up Windows?

514 Views 7 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Corrado Dad
Anyone done this? I'm looking to get rid of the regulators and everything. Thats the only part of the factory wiring harness I have left. I'd like to dump it if I could change to Manual crank style.

This one is easy - some Euro 2.0 8v, 16V Corrados came with manual crank windows. You should be able to source parts from europe, or ask niko nicely...

...no please don't ask me...I'm out fishing

One fun thing with the corrado is that the electric window brackets, mechanisms are welded into the door frame,as in not bolted as in other vw/cars.
Most manual drivers would love to have electric ones....and you want to trake them out...

I would pay big time for a complete set up. I have full working window setup that I can send as well.

They're not welded. At least in the states. Mine were held in with freaking rivits. RIVITS!!! WTF was VW thinking?
As for the guys who have manual ones and want electric ones, they've obviously never had them in a corrado, or esle they wouldn't want them either.
Those lifting mechanisms are the biggest hunks of junk I've ever seen. Who the hell designs something that rely's on a piece of damn plastic to hold tension on a cable???

Re: Manual Roll Up Windows? (kkozma)

I may have to do the roll up window thing too. My passanger side window regulator went out last summer (still haven't fixed it) and now this moring the driverside went. I've got a spare set of door panels I may use for this and possibly try and use a Scirocco II window crank system.
