would be different lot's of time and hassles to get it going right would be good if you could set it up like the nissan gtir when you lock the car the windows go up

Umm I dont know the winding ratio of a TD gemini winder. Dont they have a pully set up instead of a cog drive? I doubt it would work on a TE - TG modal beacuse it's only a couple of turns of the winder till the window is either up or down. What i'm trying to get at is look at a commodore or something that comes out with electric windows and you'll notice the manaual operation winder in a commodore takes heaps more winds to take the window either up or down so when they fit electric windows the electric motor doesnt have to do as much work... dunno if you'll understand that but yer good luck =)

Thats just my theory, gemini windows arnt the easyest things to wind up even when they are set up rite but like the song says.. whatever

True

TD wagon/van window regulators have to be one of the stupidest fucking designs ever.

What i'm looking at doing is, I have a spare coupe door with the winder and set up in it, i was think of removing it and replacing with a Hq to Wb electric configeration, they look very similar in size and shape. The commodore are not the cog type they are cable type so they would be useless.
