Hi everyone
Does anyone know if the windows on the earlier R129 (up to 95/96) should automatically drop/raise when you open/close the door, like the later ones and like most modern German coupes do ??? ( I'm hoping a 92 shouldnt !!! )
Thanks for any comments available !!

You have the two spokes going out each side of the wheel when in the straight ahead position. at the center of the spokes there is a little in fil piece, the screws are in those bits,the left hand one is by the stalk, or in line
