The Series IIa lightweight has sliding door-windows but mine doesn't have any catch to secure them shut; instead it replies on friction.
There seems to be a blanking plate in the door skin immediately below the window aperture. Was there originally a catch of some description to hold the window closed?
TIA
Window locks were optional on the civilian IIA and III. I doubt that they were even considered for the lightweight.
These optional parts may well work on a lightweight - p/n 345435 (R) and 345436(L). I'll e-mail you a picture.
Ah, that makes sense. Explains why there's a welded blank in the door panel
Thanks
If the aperture is about 1" x 1 1/2" then it looks like you've got Series 3 door tops fitted for which a sliding plastic catch is available, 347322.

Nice one, thanks... I'm not too fussed about originality so I'm not going to panic about getting the right door tops. Might look out a catch though, as the friction on the drivers side is non-existent
Why not fit the metal type that go at the top of the window and just rivet / screw to the top of the window frame.
