[W126 Coupe] Power window

[Vedat Iplikci]

Now that you mention it, I recently called and talked to a guy at Bergwerks who told me that the company is closing down, therefore their one-touch kits are not availlable anymore. Anybody have another source where I can find it?

        Axel,

        Are you getting the Bergwerks one-touch window kit put in with all your other mods? If so, you shouldn't have this problem, as that kit controls the up/down better than we would ourselves.

        When do you get the baby back?!

          Yieks!

          Thanks for the warning.

          I had no idea the widow motor is that strong. Tearing the sheetmetal to 
          pieces, wow.
