[urq] Electric Window Regulator Cable Specs 4-door Typ 89

[Maurits Jonkergouw]

Thanks Frank, yes, I'm aware of the differences, I have them both side by 
side on my bench :-). I was too lazy to translate in proper English what I 
was about to do, but in short I will cut the donor cable with the motor 
still attached in half at the center piece (which holds the glass), shorten 
the cable and refasten both ends at the center piece of the original rail, 
using all the parts from the donor except the guide rail. Hence I need to 
know the lenghts of X1 - X2 - X3 so I know exactly how much to cut off.


Regards,
