My son and I replaced left side front window in the RHD 80. It was very helpful to have my son's (then age 4) small hands available. Be sure to have a vacuum handy to get out glass particles from inside the door frame. The drama was getting the moisture barrier off in one piece and...
Guys - thanks. My mechanic originally said he could find the wire; it was me who was worried about the possibility of it running into many hours of searching and thought maybe it would be easier just to replace the whole loom. I will let him have the truck in two weeks and report back. Thanks...

Greg you might try Downey fabric softener. A capful. I have gotten rid of the whine in both 80's with it. I don't know if it is available in Tanzania though. Maybe someone here knows the active ingredient that Greg could source locally...
