has anyone fitted electric windows to their elise?
i'm asking cos my passenger side window keeps falling down about an inch and although i've taken it to bits loads of times and managed to fix it temporarily it only ever lasts a fortnight before it's falling down again.
so i figures a new window arrangement was maybe needed.....?

Ninja,
I may be fairly considered a muppet when it comes to electricals..... but doesn't an electric window just use a wee motor instead of the winder? I always thought that the mechanisim was the same?

Can't say I've ever had a problem with it.
TBH when it comes to windows I normally liberally apply vasaline and head on over to MMC.
Cheers

Silicon spray on the runners to prevent friction when using them that eventually ends up in them falling ?
Lots of stuff on this on the BCBBS.
