DenisMc Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi All, Can someone please tell me the correct orientation of the TR5 window winders when the windows are closed? Mine are at 3 o'clock, on the left hand side and 9 o'clock on the right hand side, which makes then a bit difficult to operate. Thanks, Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I doubt there is a correct orientation Denis and suspect they were fitted any which way by the factory! I don't know how similar the handles are in a 5 but in my 4A I orient them so that when the window is fully up (the normal condition) the handle knobs are as far as possible away from my long legs whether I am driving or a passenger. Just fit them the way that is most convenient for you. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm sure I have seen an instruction somewhere that with the window fully wound up the drivers (RHD) handle should be fitted at about 10 or 11 o'clock - this keeps it away from the drivers knee. But Tim's probably right. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DenisMc Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks both. I hadn't thought of the potential knee problem. I guess that mine are positioned to avoid it. Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Hi Denis, when driving the normal/average state of the dash board gauges is for the needle to point straight down (or straight up for the speedo/tacho), If you have your winder at anything other than straight down then you will upset the Ying & Yang (Feng Shui) of the car - Who knows what will happen then TRiumph knew what they were up to Roger PS - position them where it is most convenient for you.

openroad Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Definitely avoid the knee, the rest doesn't really matter. Cheers Conrad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
