  • What do you use to cap the window winder holes in 240 door cards?

Swapping door cards on a 240, and the donor 240 has manual windows but it's going into a car with power windows. I've seen a few cars where this has been done and they always have some neat cap over the hole in the door card for the window hand crank. Does anyone know what works well?

When I converted my 940 from manual to power windows I was able to purchase the caps from Volvo. This was over 20 years ago though. Some colours are still available on GCP:

These are for late 700/900. I'm not certain if these will fit a 240. I could take some measurements of the ones I have if that would be helpful.

Kinda hard to see but when I did this years ago I used a 240 hubcap centre section with a milk bottle cut into a strip attached to the back to fill the hole.
