Specialist components offer an ellectric window kit which is a lot lighter than wind up windows. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Cheers, the car in question is a car that has to have wind up windows due to the rules under which it'll be competing... if it was made with wind up windows, it has to have wind up windows... |

I lightened my winders by about 250g each. Then realised I had wasted my time, as the roll cage prevented window opening with the doors closed. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

How did you lighten them if you dont mind me asking Excuse the massacre of the mechanism. there is more that could out, the arms that move the window could do with a line of holes 
then did this to the door 
It all got tidied up, then thrown in the bin though as this happened to get welded in after I'd lightened everything.

I have the W&P kit, I have trial fitted it to my doors, it is pretty easy, and comes with paper templates so you can get the holes you need to drill in the right place.

I fitted electric windows to mine years ago. It was either Minispares or W&P, either way it fitted ok & is miles lighter than the standard "windy" windows. |
