FatJon Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 The glass in my doors is very scratched so I plan to replace both sides but also the mechanisms are rattling, clunky and a bit wonk so I figure that while I’m taking the whole think apart for repairs it would be a good time to go electric. Does anyone know of an off the shelf TR6 electric window kit? A quick google didn’t come up with much but I’m sure it must exist somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Triumph Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Personally, I wouldn't bother, on the basis juts one more thing to go wrong. But if you want to go the electric route, what about adapting Stag electric windows? Another possibility is Reliant Scimitar GTE, where electric windows were available as an option in the seventies, so could possibly be adapted. Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Here you go Jon, One favour deserves another. (Volvo Servo) Make sure you get the one made in Germany as the Chinese is not up to it at all. I had to pin the cogs through the square peg which is the sticky out shaft the original window winder sat. Before I pinned it the supplied cogs kit slipped and caused the window to stay stuck in a heavy rain storm. Lots of silicon spray lubricant down the window guides and does help with new winder mechanisms. You can PM me if you like and I will send you more details.

Richard Pope Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 A couple of years ago I bumped into a guy who was working out the best way to do this and he eventually came up with a version based on a Fiat Punto 2002-2009. One advantage is that you can also use the central locking too. I keep in touch with him and will copy him this post. I have some details but as I'm not at this stage, I do not have all the details of the conversion. My notes are: I’ve managed to fit with only minor modifications. I cut 30 mm off the main drive section to get it to fit inside the door Welded it back up Separated the motor from the main body moved it out to get the right tension on the cable Had to cut a bit of the door out to get the motor to sit flush , I’ll just plate up the bit I cut out Including central locking Exterior touch sensitive door handles that will drop the door glass a couple of centimetres so that it doesn’t interfere with the roof rubbers The motors are from a 2002 to 2009 ish Punto They must be with the green cogs/plastic They’re on eBay £15 - £20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hi Folks, NigelA, on this forum, is just about to fit this style of window mechanism. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stradaman Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I’ve used Nissan note rear window motors grafted to the original tr6 manual mechanisms. Works perfectly. There’s 7 teeth that drives the tr6 regulator and 7 teeth that drive the Nissan one . It’s just question off making a plate to adapt it. A little part of the door has to be cut away to allow for the motor it sits proud of the door but a dummy speaker cover hides it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel A Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ordered an Autoloc kit from Amazon US which apparently is very popular over there a few weeks ago but have now been told it is out of stock and they are not sure when it will be back in stock. Im having a small operation this week and will have to be be very careful I don’t knock it so probably won’t do any TR work for a couple of weeks. If not back in stock by then will have to rethink my plans and probably go Harry and Jon’s route. Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have just had my friend come back and he has now switched to the Nissan Note rear door motor as well as it is a 7teeth motor. Any photos available for the sequence of the build, please Stradaman?
