    From memory I think it was Ritters that have a similar product. Basically it's a couple of small bike sprockets and a it of bike chain inside.

    I recently had a look at having something like this commissioned locally, with a view to having it available through the forum - basically two sprockets and a chain in a custom plastic box - development costs for a small run were prohibitive though.
    I'd be interested in that. I've just fitted rear drawers so i'm looking for an elegant fix. I've got an MY13 and the socket fix doesn't seem to work for me, seems they've removed any edge off the winder so there's not really anything to grab onto.

    That would work fine instead of a socket driver but I'm looking to have an in-built drive that does not protrude above the floor of the cargo space. Others have mentioned flex drives which is still an option as I'm not having any luck sourcing a low profile motor of any kind .

    I remember seeing one on the Disco3 site that was made with a Window Winder motor.
    It was Low profile, geared down and worked well .....

    Of course now I can't find it to save myself

    Certainly does! This was what I was hoping to come up with. I was thinking about window motors however they tended to be quite expensive (new). Might be more reasonable from an Auto Dismantler
