You may know of this but you may not .
If your electric windows are stuck in the down position what do you do ?
Panic ??
On mine I think they were fitted by a dealer later on as the place where the winder handle was is just a plastic disc, so remove this and the small plastic plug over the top of a small shaft and .....................a 4mm allen bolt hole is there !!!!!!!
Allen key out and the window is back up again.

But you knew that , didn`t you ??

Mart.
Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.

Yes, I knew that as I have a similar set up. On mine Allen key is part of the tool kit. I have never used it so I don’t know if it works.

All comments by me should be taken in the right sprite, Jack Daniels is fine.
