MG MGF Technical - Window Stops

One of my window stops has broken, don't know which version it is but it is the original one that was on the car (1996), presumably a mark 1.

I have bought a new one, but I am not convinced its the latest MK 3 version. It is an orange plastic moulding - I seem to recall that MK3 was grey and a round barrel.

The part number for the one I have got is CUQ 100102.

If I have got an older version, does anyone know the part number for the latest version?

Thanks

Paul,

As you suspect, the orange one is not the latest. Can't help with the part number, sorry, but the dealer ought to know the difference!
Dave

The Mk3 version was introduced early 1998 and isn't orange. Even more, it is a three piece set now (IIRC).
Erik

Yeah the MK3 is a bit like a nut and bolt arangement.

Its odd because when I went to my dealer to get them they tried to palm me off with the MK2 ones.

There's a picture of the mark 3 windstop on Dieter's site ( as usual ).

The one on the left (the black one) is the mark 3.

Thanks,

I'll take it back on Monday,

I think Rover must have found a box of Mk 2's and are trying to palm them off on their customers.

Don't change please in the next 20 or whatever years ;)

Cheers

Nice one Richard just broken the first of our old plastic stops! Can't grumble I suppose after almost 15 years!
Ted Newman

Now done and as Richard suggested all those years back - took just over half an hour!
Ted Newman

Yes, the orange ones are the Mk2 version, and yes, they're rubbish, and most usually found at the bottom of the door frame... http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/project_shed/images/part2/Image6.gif

Bolt and nut arrangement is the one you want - aka the Mk3 :o)

Long time no hear Paul - are you coming along to MGF15 this weekend?
Rob Bell

Rob - that was me resurrecting an old posting from the archives where I had searched for "instructions". Paul's post is dated 2003 BUT who knows he may just read this!
Ted Newman

Are you and Karin coming along Ted?
Rob Bell

Rob - looks like we may have Sunday free so do you know if we come and pay at the gate do we still get into the MGF car park?
Ted Newman

Pay at the gate, and all MGFs/TFs get into the MG parking :o)
Rob Bell
