Genuine Mk3 Fiesta 3 door electric window mechanisms are getting hard to find. I managed to modify KA Mk 1 (1996 to 2008) using the later factor method of shortening the track and adding a short spacer. I have sent an article to be published in the next Quantum Mechanics Magazine. The big plusses here are the KA mechanisms are readily available at £20 each, they use exactly the same connectors as Fiesta Mk3 and best of all they use the same track profile. The only small issues are the top mounting is different and the motor mounts nearer to the track, but issues can be overcome.
I am happy to help or share more details if required.

I bought one. It still used the manual lifter and a remote motor with a cable driven gearbox that fitted over the manual winder instead of the handle.

I've posted several replies to this thread via email but none of them make it to the group. Anybody else getting this ? This reply i've done on the web site.

On 2+2 q2129 the rivet holding the nylon part of the rail was removed the piece moved up and bolted onto the rail ,a metal slotted spacer was then placed inline with the cable outer. It is interesting that you found a fiesta MK2 window mechanism as I worked for ford at the time of the MK2 and never saw one with electric windows.

The cars were designed to be built without special tools, so welding parts wouldn't have been expected. I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

The two ends are plastic and clipped onto the metal rail. It comes with a plug and wire tails so you can renew the plug. (and fit the socket of the new motor, of course) It seems to need 20 mm shortening to fit the Coupe door, so a 20mm spacer fitting. As an aside, my Coupe ford regulator seems to have been cut down by 20mm by being cut in the middle of the rail and welded back together and ground to shape. This brings the mounting brackets closer together. Was this the usual way when built? I built my 2 + 2 new and it needs more shortening but basically you cut one end shorter. Mounting brackets stay in the same position. ATB Derek -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
