Intro During my window fixing escapades I was sat, with a cup of tea, reading what other people had done with a similar problem. Well this didn't take long as it happened as most peoples experience was subtly different from the last. So I just kept digging to see if I could find anything relevant else where. As the windows on my 2007 van are controlled by the comfort and convenience unit (CCU), I was also playing particular attention to anything else that went through the same box.
