Another interesting evening ...



Just about to leave for the Area E meeting, when Roger Galvin's wife
Lesley called.  The passenger window on the Coupe quattro won't go up,
and Roger's got the garage keys with him in Korea - so she can't swap
the car over for one of the ur-quattros.

Bugger.  It ruins Part 1 of my evening - the road to Roger's is boringly
straight, as is the road from Roger's to the meeting.  The _direct_ road,
in contrast, is a real 'quattro' road.  Never mind.

A few minutes with the car, and the problem is obviously the driver's
door switch.  Ever tried to remove the switch block from a Coupe
quattro?

Some small holes.  A screwdriver produces a satisfyingly solid metal
contact.  But no grip.  Try straight, PoziDrive, cross-head, etc.

Nothing.

Then, inspired, a 4mm Allen driver.  BINGO!!

Switch over the switches between driver's and passenger's doors, and
the window lifts sweetly into place.  Just as well, because it's
starting to rain ...
