Re: GT power window reg. problem

[dupree@alldata.com (Jim Dupree)]

The local Audi dealer here has in the past stocked a smallcable clamp
made to fit the window regulator. It was a cheap fix but would last
untill the the motor or cable went. I don't know if they still have 
them or not. They called it a "Window regulator repair kit".

	Yep, I have *exactly* the same problem on my '85 5KT: I haven't
	been able to come up with a fix. I did try epoxy, and I can
	tell you that it doesn't work. Some brazing/welding process might
	work, or I was wondering if I could get hold of a little metal piece
	to clamp on to the cable  with a set-screw: maybe something from
	a bicycle shop.

	I'm told you can get a redesigned replacement with a worm gear
	drive for $125 or so -- I just forget which vendor it was that
	offered it.  Joe Garibaldi, are you reading this?

	Let me know if you find out anything useful.

	-Arun
