General Information

Electric cross arm window controls are installed in all cars as of the 1980 model year. These new window controls guarantee smoother door window operation and in future will replace all parallel arm window controls for Types 911 and 911 Turbo.

Later the parts Catalog will be changed to include the mechanical cross arm window controls, which replace the mechanical parallel arm window controls after depletion of stocks and can be installed in all doors.

Service installation of these new cross arm window controls will require exchange of the lift channels on the door windows or use of new door windows.

Installing

Note:

If door window sags at rear when operated, the rear mounting hole (see broken line) must be extended upward.
