Anyone fitted 'lecky windows to 2nd row CSW doors?

julianf · Feb 4, 2016

I learnt today that no TDCI CSWs are fitted with electric windows on the 2nd row - that they are always manual?

This seems the very place you do want remote control.

Anyone retrofitted them? If so, how did you manage it?

Was wondering this myself the other day. I cant imagine it would be too difficult but i can see it costing at a fair bit!

It would be a bit of a task as no Defender was fitted with them.
There used to be an aftermarket electric window kit fir cars, the motor fitted inside the door and a cable driven gear drive unit went over the winding handle spindle.
I fitted a set to my Triumph Herald.
They worked but were slow.
I looked on Google for "car electric window kit" and it seems they are still available.

Might be the easiest way to do it.

Knowing LR I could imagine they used the same or very similar winding system in the back as the did in the front.

I fitted after market to my fronts but cost stopped me doing the rears. There is no difference in fitting difficulty between front and rears IMHO.
Central locking was more of a challenge. I got the proper LR rubber frangers for the wiring, door to piller.

All my doors are done for - im tempted to get complete puma units for the fronts, with the electric windows, but, for the rears, it seems i may as well just get the shell and fit the internals and glass from my existing doors.

Waiting for some tdci doors to come up on ebay cheap enough whilst i work out the plan...
