Window Rocket - who’s tried it? (38 Viewers)

If you don't want to buy one, or don't think something is "worth it", or you think you can build one yourself for cheaper, then go ahead and do it, and allow the person selling these to go about their business—it's pretty simple.

I already bought one.

Not that it needs a test bed, but I'll be the first RHD with it (I'm the rig he's using for measurements). I've needed to clean my window runs and grease everything since I bought it but I'm lazy and haven't, so I won't and y'all can see how much it can improve a 92 with windows that have never been worked on. Even in summer I have to pull my front windows back up.....

Nice, where does it mount on a RHD?

OK, so mine arrived last week just two days after ordering, but I didn't have a chance to install it until this morning

First off, the packaging is very well put together

Everything looked to be consistent with all the photos I've seen online and it just feels like a quality piece

The install took me about 30 minutes because I had one a$$hole of a screw that needed some persuasion with a pair of vise-grips, but probably would've taken 10 minutes total if things went smoothly

I must say, I'm pretty damn impressed and kicking myself now for not doing this sooner

Haven't started my rig since last week (in the middle of some PM work), but even on the battery alone, the difference is night and day

Threw together this little video:

Is that Coldplay in the background? (*this post isn't going to age well,...) Great vid!

I installed a Window Rocket in a LHD FZJ80 with a stickshift and it fit fine. The one I installed it in didn't have the assist springs on the pedal. Austin's pedal does have the assist springs and was shaped differently from the one I did.

The 91-92's don't have the brackets either because they don't have ABS. There's a good chance the kit we make for the 91-92's will fit 93+ LHD 80 series without ABS. Stickshift or automatic.

RHD is in process as well.

Any idea if it will fit a left hand drive HDJ80? Would you need a photo of the clutch petal?
