So since I don't want to do any real heavy work right now (to mess up my back again), like changing two sets of tires, like I need to, I decided to pull out of my storage all my ebay windshield mechanisms.
I found five, plus some extra parts, so I figured I had plenty to work with.
The first unit I tore apart, after testing, looked like maybe a bad gear or a bad cable...HA!
It had a broken dog, a totally messed up gear and the cable tubes were bent! Scratch that one...
So I pulled another one out of the pile. This one worked, but was really dirty! So I tore it apart and I gathered parts and put a "good" one together.
After assembly I tested it; Worked great!
Some parts left over:
That first one I picked it because I thought it didn't look too bad...Looks can be deceiving!
I still have three more units to pull apart and see what's up with them. I know, one of the units is good, just needs cleaning.
