Pic request: plastic window pulls

[obrut]

hi all

does anyone have any pics of the strap arrangement used to raise/lower plastic/lexan windows in 911R's, ST's, RSR's etc.

from what i can gather the strap attaches to the bottom edge of the window (inside the door) but i'm a little unclear on the fitting that the strap connects to on the door. i assume that a small hook is used which passes through holes in the strap to set the window position.

any other tips or tricks in making and/or installing these would be great appreciated.

Here's a tip:

The leather will streatch over time, so make sure that you allow for that and punch the holes so that, initially, they hold the window a little tighter than you would normally like. In about 6-9 months the leather will stretch and the tension will release and everything will be hunky dory. Otherwise, you'll have sagging windows that don't close all the way.

Raj - thanks, would you have a close up shot of the hook?

Marco - thanks for the tip.

Yep, just like mine. That's why you see little wood blocks in the R door panels - to prop up the window. These are special rare factory wood blocks, you know, that go inbetween the strap and window sill.

thanks for the follow up. we ended going for a slightly different (and i think safer) solution:
