When you take the window winders off I used two of these grommets to cover the holes. If you carefully cut the backs off with a Stanley blade so you are left with a flat rubber circle and then super glue them over the hole it finishes off the trim panel really neatly. Go for the 50mm size.

Thanks for that but I'm getting new door cards and will get the winder less option. Many thanks anyway, those gromits will come in handy for fitting the rear work lights Thumbs Up

Strangely this is only for a 110 not a 90 - i checked with the vendor and they said 110 only?

Are the doors different from a 110 to a 90? Am i being really dumb here? The Rules:-

The rear door winders on a 110 are different to the front door winders I believe, so it is possible that they may be kits for the rear. I can't see any mention of this in the listing though.

Front doors are identical as noted above.

Looking at that kit I am not too sure it is for front doors, I would message the seller to make sure.

Saying that I would opt for genuine defender electric window regulators, a pair will cost you about £160.00, wiring is not that expensive and you may find that you already have the wiring in your loom anyway. Genuine switches are about £15.00 each.

With genuine parts you know they will fit are of quality manufacture and are guaranteed to work. Ok you may pay a little extra but in the long run it will be worth it to have a genuine parts vehicle. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
