Here's a drawing a friend did for his 330. Should be close.

Steve,
I'm pretty sure you're right. I remember a cable crossing being wrong in the drawing. I'm pretty sure that for the cable going down to the pully & up again, both directions must be on the SAME side of the ~horizontal cable. Inboard sounds right also.

Ron,

You've got mail.

Steve,

Thanks, you are right. But once you are in the door, it kinda makes since if you take into account the car as a whole.

Matt,

Would you mind emailing the diagram to me too? I'm inside my '80 308 doors right now, and am contemplating pulling all that junk out and cleaning up the motor guts. I'm trying to work up the nerve.

Matt/Randall -- (I guess I'm lucky because I never had to mess with this myself, but I wanted to warn you that) In my 161/78 308 GTB/S SPC a previous mechanic had written some notes that the picture of the cable is not quite right. In the picture the cable crosses itself twice, and his notes indicate that crossing towards the front of the car should show the near-horizontal portion of the cable inboard of the vertical portion (rather than outboard). The cable crossing towards the rear of the car is OK as shown -- vertical cable inboard of horizontal cable. Can't say that I'm 100% sure about his notes or my translation, but I just wanted to warn you that there may be this minor problem with the illustration.

Randall,

I will e-mail the diagram later tonight. I used it to fix my windows.

I've read and printed the previous thread, but can't seem to figure out how to get the power window back together right. I bought the car with one window not operating, and when I took it apart, the cable wasn't wound right. It was just made to hold the window up. The motor was burned uot, the grease had turned to epoxy type stuff. That's fixed and it operates, but I have no idea of getting it on the spool the right way or amount. Is there any good advice, or is this a matter of guess and check until it works?
