    Previous weekends I try out how to make small plastic parts:

    For start, I had common problem with my -77 US GTB, a proken heat lever. Absolutely awful desing!

    So I made one new, with metal reinforcement, in picture without crome and fresh out of the mold:

    For GTBi I made new Spal fans to fit, using method I found from forum:

    Something I made my self:

    I very sick of these stupid FIAT parts;
    Mondial stuck rear window fix
    Actually Mondial rear window lifts are use in larger Fiat car late 1970´s, they work fine, but when it gets twisted small space in Ferrari, it makes the small plastic clip to jump of that you can found inside motor asembly, here is my fix:

    This is how you get it out:

    http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u84/unknow82/projekti/ikkuna3.jpg

    and there it is:
    http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u84/unknow82/projekti/ikkuna4.jpg

    Next you find window lift that looks similar:
    http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u84/unknow82/projekti/ikkuna5.jpg
    And make it to acsept holes in car to bolt it in.

    Motor I decided to place here:

    next to make some fine adjustment and slam it all together.

    Today I got new Mondial cabrio rear window adjusted.
    Only draw back is that power window from Volvo V40/S40 are too fast, that is when you compare original front windows...

    After winter battery is so low that original rear window on right side does not even come down and that one I opened few years ago. Now after two days of using Volvo window regulator is still going strong.

    If any of you need to make this convert to your Mondial cabrio, you need Volvo FRONT window regulators, if I understan right; right hand side front goes to your Monndial rear left.
    Courve is just spot on, but you do not have any space to spare, it is very tight fit.

    This is a fantastic project. I had always hoped someone would find a modern regulator that could be grafted into the 308 front doors. I assume the mondial has similar pulley and roller design for the front windows?

    Hi, I have an 1988 3.2 and both my Rear windows are stuck in the down position but they both worked a month ago just fine. I checked the fuse seems okay, tested the switches in the back by plugging the front door windows to them and they worked just fine. From reading some of the threads, I went through the side vents and top rear window opening. With the limited amount of space to work with, I was able to grab the motor wires with a coat hanger. I connected the motor wires directly to a 12v battery and tried to zap it back into life but to no avail. No movement what so ever. I can't believe both motors could have gone bad at the same time, especially when they were working every time I used them. I'm tempted to unbolt the whole assembly and try to see why the motors weren't working, but was wondering if anyone had alternatives:

    1) Recommend a person or company that can rebuild the motor
    2) Find a replacement motor/assembly from Fiat
    3) Replace the whole thing with a manual hand crank

    Any help would greatly be appreciated.
