some mk1's had manual windows and regulators are on ebay, other than that maybe fiesta or mondeo or even mazda 3 regulators butchered to fit. but it would be trial end error.

Out of curiosity. What is your reason for doing this is it to save weight or an electrical fault?

Use the ones from manual rear windows in the front ???

Not the same mechanism.

I have been told that the focus only ever had them on the rear! The reason is it's a fast road and track car so don't really want sliders as it will be left unoccupied. Looks le it will just be trial and error!

ahh bugger, didn't consider they could be rear regulators i was looking at. trip to a breakers yard maybe in order then. i'd imagine mk6 onwards fiesta maybe adaptable.

Sure there's other places to save weight first, what will you save, 6kg?? Is it worth it.

mk5 or 6 escort manual windows could probably be adapted to fit as they are a very simple mechanism

It is fully stripped so it's little things like this now that's left! And it's getting a full Motorsport braided loom so want a lot of the wiring out!

You did say you were worried about leaving your car unattended, if you put manual windows in it surely it will be less secure?

I saw that and I have sent the seller a message to ask if it is deffo out the front? Someone did say the early 1400 focus's had ten in the front! But all of them on ebay seen to have window switches in the photos!

I'm putting polycarb in so if i carnt do manual windows I don't really want to put sliders in them for when the car is left unattended like at shows service stations ect!

They have just emailed back saying the listing was incorrect and it's a rear mech!
