Hmmm, yes I think that probably helps, I think the back door lock is also same as tailgate. There's a cheap one on the bay so I might take a gamble :?

Have to buy a wiper motor too, but it's still a good deal when you add up the extras I need :)

Well you could do me another favour when you've got a minute and compare it to the tailgate unit and see if it looks the same :)

I'll be in your debt AGAIN :oops:

It's almost identical........


Except, the little levers on the top!
The motor, the casing etc is the same, but not those little bits :(

Hmmm, too many choices :roll:

Sudden though about lock, I have part of it, so I'm going to look and see if I can combine what I have with a barn door lock to get what I need, if you see what I mean :)

It may be a stupid question... but why don't you fit the window to your existing door?
