     aul, scout around for a Dodge Caravan ( round about 1990). The upscale (LE) model had electric rear quarter windows that might be applicable.  Our 1989 had them. Not sure of the inner workings, but the rear roof pillar was about the same size as a Mini and contained part of the mechanism. The window extended about the same as a Mini as well. The only exposed part is a small crank and link. When closed, the link covered the crank. Inside the pillar was probably a gear like a Mini wiper box driven via a cable by a motor located in the wall below the window. The windows were controlled by rocker switches in the overhead console.

    The cheaper van models had a round knob in the ceiling which accomplished the same thing manually somehow - probably a long cable in the ceiling.

    I posted mine yesterday is anyone else only getting 15 posts total?

    People are like slinkeys; they dont really serve a purpose but you cant help laughing when one falls down the stairs.

    I've suggested this before, I think MiniMania needs to offer group buys on popular items. Also what is the status of heritage shells?
