Take the window guides out and pinch them tighter with a pair of mole grips job done.

Any plastic membranes etc. to negotiate to get to them? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

There was an article in Land Rover Monthly magazine a couple of months ago about fitting front electric windows and it finished with the author looking at fitting electric windows to the 2nd row doors in a future article. This hasn't happened yet but looks promising.

can you get electric window kits for 2nd row doors?


That is what they are for. I have a set here and will be fitting them over the Christmas period to both rear doors. They will get power from a separate fuse box and have recessed LR window switches mounted near the push button locks.
I intend to do a write up with piccies when I do it and I will also do the fusebox install as well if anyone is interested. Question

We did the LRM article and used genuine parts for the front.

The rears were done using an aftermarket kit

Sorry, I was just being sarcastic (and greedy) - your write-ups tend to be very intelligible so I was waiting for it rather than from anyone else... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

I re-positioned the handles to them pointing straight downwards with windows closed. This improved the dropping-windows-phenomenon a lot and is a 5-minute job.

There's just a circlip which you can remove with any flat pointed tool (I use a steak knife). Just ease one of the legs forward and the rounded part becomes accessible. Then pull it out. They generally don't "ping" off but be careful Thumbs Up

p.s. The repositioning didn't work for me as I often have passengers hitting the winders with their knees. Some smart black elastic cord works a treat though. Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
