window winder mechanism

[crazy6]

Is there any way to upgrade the window winder mechanism so it is more mechanical/tight ? It feels so loose & toylike I thought maybe there would be some kind of after market kit that would allow me to create a more "robust" winder.

really? nothing? I don't mind it that much....love the fact that the car is raw as hell....just thought it might be a simple job to tighten the system up a bit

If you mean the winder handle feels loose it could be that the mech has worn

My Exige S is 3 weeks old and the winder mechanism is so loose that it nearly came off in my hand the other day!!! - To fix the problem Lotus very kindly supply an Alan key in the tool kit that exactly fits the nut! - This reminds me of the kind of thinking TVR adopt ie instead of fixing the problem they build in a way around it to fix it yourself!

Don't get me wrong I love the car, things like just make me laugh.

If you really want a laugh take the door card off and see the mechanism first hand - I think they made it out of dried spaghetti and sprayed it ali-coloured.

I can confirm this. Spent most of one afternoon trying to fix this problem, it's really tight inside the door, and two weeks later it's back to how it was originally.
