Ok, the runners are in the post. I missed yesterday, but I asked my beloved to post them today. Frankly, if there is a better system that fits easily I'd go for it, because as Moneypit has pointed out, the Midas system isn't great. Either way, now you can experiment (and I will cast a critical eye over a Fiesta next time I'm in the breakers as Land rovers are not so common.

Thanks Matt, much appreciated.

I know what you mean about the system being less than brilliant, ultimately I'd like to fit electric windows.

Barry, what age of Fiesta did you get your winder mechanism from? I've lost count of what "mark" the Fiesta is on now...
