window riser cable/chain replacement/adjustment 120-130

Hello,

The tension is adjusted at the lower pulley via a pair of jam nuts that screw down onto a spring that is mounted on a stove bolt.

Unfortunately, the window cables from a 4 door 122 and a 2 door 122 are different.

The window cables for the forward doors from a 4 door are shorter than the 2 door.

And the window cables from the rear doors from a 4 door do not even have a cable, but are all chain.

These cables are not available new, except for NOS (New Old Stock).

So good used cables or a repair cable are you only viable alternative.

I have a repair cable that replaces just the wire cable section of your old window cable.

You must re-use the chain section of your window cable when using this repair section.

I have not entered this repair chain on our website yet, but will do so in the next day or so.
