Killing 2 Birds with 1 Stone
The power window switch on the SP's passenger side decided to go into semi retirement after 6+ years of faithful service. The switch could still bring down the side window but couldn't bring it back up. Bummer! While replacing the switch I decided to remove the inner door cover and replace all the mild steel bolts with lightweight aluminium potassium bichromate coated items. Also did the driver door side. There are 8 M6 X 12mm bolts per door on the inner side and 16 bolts total for 2 doors. Picture below of the new lightweight bolts. Using the larger than standard 18mm diameter washers.

ur really great in these things dude... i surely love ur car damd much... have u weighed it lately? XD
btw.. i guess im still able to follow ur footsteps and learn frm u and the 4g93 powerplant... my insurance company refused to "write-off" my crashed car and is forcing me to fix it.... so i have no choice.
I thought you'd just ditch the power windows altogether...
Uruhara-sv,
Haha.. Welcome back to the Proton club. Better make sure the shop that repairs your car does a good job. Doesn't look like a simple repair plus the chassis could really be out of whack..
The SP is still a road car regardless and I do like my creature comforts..
haha yeaps... hope they do a good job... the chassis IS really outa wack... just wanna see what the end result is... hope its good.
