Ferrari Mailing List: 3xx slow windows call the race tech at FOA

[Robert Rehkopf (CaptRehkopf]

Matt,

I read your post about you holding a tech session on your slow windows. By
accident when I was at Ferrari of Atlanta, master brake reservoir leaking
grommet, the 'race' tech drove my car to check out the 'brake failure light'
i.e. low brake fluid. Two things he said made me happy, he said the brakes
were better than any 328 he'd ever driven and the car was very fast! As I
smiled he said he that the 5xxxx miles probably had something to do with
being fast, but I thought of Clyde's rebuild several years ago. But why the
brakes and then I told him he'd just driven the only 328 in the world with
cross drilled rotors, and then he began to ask a lot of questions about what
brand of rotors, etc. You're probably asking what this has to do with
windows, well as I was leaving my passenger window sometimes worked and
sometime didn't, and I mentioned it to him. He immediate said that Ferrari
electrical system was basically the cause but no problem, FOA routinely
rerouted the electrical system to the windows motors and no more slow
windows! The reason I gave the background info was because I don't remember
his name, just the race tech. So for you tech session you might want to call
them and ask for the race tech and tell him the story to make sure you have
the right guy. I'm sure he could provide some great info on slow windows. I
couldn't get mine done because I was passing through and had to get back to
Memphis. By the way FOA gave me GREAT service going on my trip and
returning, put me in front of everybody and put great people to work on it.

Ps. my car is still for sale, with great speed, greater brakes, but still
slow windows!
