Window cable

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Window cable

Post by messerschmitt owner » Sun Oct 14, 2012 7:04 pm

My little vandal has snapped a keep fit window cable on the rear offside of the sx. Does anyone have a spare I could buy or point me in the direction of a non electric window cable.

Are the non electric cables anything like the electric ones? I repaired the ones on your old VSX with some cable designed for push bikes and made up some nipples and had them brazed on the ends.

this is what I used. No more rust. Don't know if non electric works with cable, nothing suprises me with XM's! :)

I had seen these before but hadn't realised they weren't known about. I think I may be ordering a couple on the rear ns window I can definitely hear the motor but there's no movement from the window! :)
