[terrybullwon]

Has any one changed from electrics to the early coupe's manual window winders ?

Weight?

Making things as simple as possible and saving weight at the same time, the rear electric windows are going to!

I have a suspicion electric windows were standard equipment on all B3 Coupés. Not 100% on that but fairly sure.

I found some in etka from some coupe 1989

Cool, I stand corrected. Must have been for some sort of super base model.

i've heard rumours you can use the manual winders from a coupe gt (type 85) and swap over the mech into the frame from a type 89 but i've never attempted it as even the manual winders from a coupe gt are a pita to find. Last pair I heard off are now in ireland in storage.

Another option which i'd be interested in looking into is using a passat/golf mk2/3 early manual winders and swapping the mech over and seeing if thats possible as the parts are cheap as chips.

So you not seen them in any Coupes?

@ Fish good find!!!

Not in b3's out of all the one's that i've seen i've never ever seen any with manual winders on a type 89. I'll ask my mate but doubt he has as well, thats gotta be some poverty spec car to do it, hell its probably only got a dremel under the bonnet and a sail to power it along.
