That's a fantastic idea, and really well executed too! Thumbs Up

Absolutely brilliant idea. I'ts probably beyond my skill set to complete but if someone were ever to offer one as a complete or partially completed kit I'd be all over it.

Great work and thanks for sharing.

That's the first mod my wife has ever commented on. Unfortunately it was followed by the comment directed at me, "Why can't you be that clever?" So I'd be interested if you can get one to work with the GG AT and if you can come up with mod for getting the stupid Censored cable out of the wheel I'd be really pleased. Thumbs Up

Excellent mod. Thumbs Up I think there would be a market for these as the spare is a constant source of irritation to those of use who carry lots of stuff in the back

So who would buy one?

So who would buy one, assuming price was acceptable?

I gave up on the hope of a kit and just made an adaptor to do it all with a 1/4" ratchet handle. Big nut and a bolt out of scrap box and some never used bits from a socket set so cost was nil.

I know this is a really old post, but this is really something I would like to do, as emptying the boot so that I can lift the seats to access the spare inst ideal.

Any more people done this modification or have any more details on the best motor to use?

Remember seeing this post back in the day and thought what a great idea but in the end i used the mechanism that sets the winding position further back. I think its called a windomatic IIRC?

I just have a socket, ext and ratchet permanently on the nut so i never have to unload or lift the seats etc to get at the winch bolt. Prob not as good as electric but still solves the unloading situation Thumbs Up

Done some google investigation, and all I can seem to find is Vileda WindoMatic! Rolling with laughter

I have ordered a sunroof motor off ebay for a few quid so might have a winter project on my hands, and if all that fails I will look at the option of moving the nut further back...

Google search for "windER-o-matic" found this on an obscure website Whistle

That looks like a right dodgy site - It looks perfect for what I wanted and really annoying LR didnt do it from factory!

I will see how I get on with this sunroof motor and see how it goes.
