[DeTomaso] Window motor mensa.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

This is the "broken" window gear from my 1973 L.  This photo was taken 
in 1999 or 2000, at a Tech session at Roger and Pam Sharp's place prior 
to a Fun Rally.

It's also the same photo Hall Pantera used in their latest newsletter, 
to illustrate broken window motor gears.

Symptom: everything turns fine until the big gap in the gear.  Then you 
have to manually move the window until the gap has been passed.  
Frustrating.

Put some new brass gears in.
