This was discussed in a thread once before. It was suggested that the inertia mechanism was handed. I hope you have them installed correctly. Do they both lock when you hit the brakes? You could always fold the belt and pull it through the guide to get the twist the way you want it.

Yeah the problem with pulling it through is that it then puts the bottom mount facing the wrong way thus not allowing it to swivel as intended. Suppose I could space it a 1/4' but don't really like that idea soo much.
Do you possibly have a link to that thread? Would be interested in the read.
BTW I have a short list of 4 green stuff. closing in on $200 atm. some good stuff there. Love it.-Bryant

I know it only holds one beer bottle, but it will at least get you from one Brewer's Retail to the next.

^ if after he gets one from ya I am in dire need of a driver one but may also get a passenger one if the price is right and they are in good working order. I currently need to pull the window up with my right hand while I crank with the left. Pass side isn't quite as bad but it getting worse. These nasty Ohio winters really take their toll on 'em.-Bryant

for the 3 door w/o power windows, these should be the correct KIA part #s and are still shown available (4G) for about $27. RH- KKY01 58 560E. LH- KKY01 59 560E. you might also consider throwing in some plastic grommets that interface between the glass and the window mechanism. MS084 58 502.

Looking through the Four Green catalog I wonder how you guys find what parts you are looing for. Do you have exploded views of Prides, 121's or Festiva's or some other way I am unfamiliar with? I do have a rather large parts order nearing completion with them though. I'm guessing with shipping it will be in the area of maybe $250+-Bryant

there's a 4 door pride sedan. there's a 4 door hatch. there's a 4 door wagon and there's our 2 door hatch. almost each version has its own particular part#for window mechanisms and there's usually a difference between the manual and power mechanisms. if i was going to convert to power windows, i'd try to get the mechanisms from the same body type as you're converting but the front power mechanisms from a 4 door hatch should be adaptable to the 2 door hatch. not perfect but doable. the 4 door hatch parts are more plentiful on ebay, especially ebay germany. it seems 4 door hatch prides with front PW were big sellers over there. the 2 door has the PW switches in the center console. the 4 door hatch has them in the front armrests and for some halfassd reason, the rear windows are manual with a crank.

Sucks that they never made rear door electric regulators.
Might even opt for a set of those universal kits and DIY it myself using Festiva switch sets, maybe even modify the 2dr console and add spaces for the rear two windows with a cutoff so people can't go "duh, the windows go up and down hehehehe" all the time, beavis and butthead styles.
