I remember it being an absolute shitfight but I dont remember doing anything fancy, just had to get it in the right spot and then it came out.
Ok, I'm embarrassed. I can't get the damn window out. I ended up unscrewing everything but nothing is moving and it's all just dropped to the bottom. Any ideas apart from stopping now and putting it all back together!
Thanks.

The window needs to go on the outside of the car to come out as you pull it up. It should preferably be detached from anything. Also, pulling out your outer seal and chrome strip will help, just watch out for paint damage.

Sweet. Thanks for the tips. Managed to learn a heck of a lot about windows this arvo! All good now. Cheers
Anybody ever converted to a fixed window? I'm not going to have rear seats, so windows that wind up and down seem a bit pointless to me.
I've been told just to weld the rolling mechanism in place when the window is fully up, but I figure there's a neater and more reversible approach to it?

wind it up pull off handle?
you could jam the mechanism somehow but really i wouldnt bother who cares if it doesnt have bushes etc just wind the bugger up and leave it there
also any progress on the fronts nathan? im gonna do mine soon so if i beat ya'll to it ill certainly let you know how i did it
Piece of piss. I did mine last weekend. once all the trim is removed etc all you do is unbolt the glass from the regulator and remove the upper stop and then take out the whole glass. Drill or grind out stock bit and fit roller bushing. Pays to replace the 4 plastic bits at the same time as the window is out.Originally Posted by skiddz
same size roller? if so then thats gonna be piss
i did this conversion on my ta23 & then fitted electric motors & they go up & down now by pressing a switch 4 windows 4 switches happy days

Hi. Does anyone have a pic of the internal setup of the rear windows for the ta22/ta23?
Thanks

Hey. I have pulled out the front window regulator but I am stumped as to why the rollers (new plastic ones and the Rolltrak ones) don't fit. Am I on the wrong track? The car is a 76' TA23. Cheers.

I'd say the TA23 doors are the same as 22 one's.
The RA23 has side impact bars,so maybe they changed the window tracks at the same.
The spline is different and the window handles won't swap over.
Just swap the rollers you have for 20mm one's and you will be fine.
One a side not MX23 rear windows have the same 25mm roller works like a treat
