Lads,

Any suggestions where i can have my window winder mechanism replaced on my el falcon ?

Its the manual type - there is a plastic piece that has snapped off from somewhere and the window has dropped down - I have gaffa taped it up in place now but thats only a short term fix

also when i wind the winder the metal cable inside sounds like it is fucked ... so will need to replace the lot by the sounds of it.

Common in the EF/EL Falcons.

Basically, buy a new manual window regulator from eBay... DIY install. Fairly cheap too.

I installed the electric window regulator in my NF Fairlane, was not difficult.

OK I just looked, eBay has none atm.. I'm pretty sure I got mine from Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage (who has an eBay shop), brand new.
