Electric Windows - Should I or Shouldnt I......

Post by jxp »

Hi, just got myself a good deal on original elec windows including switches, runners/motors and door cards.

Now wondering what else i need to get these fitted. Relays/fuses/new loom and how much of a ball ache the fitting would be. So feel free to let me have your views on this job. Would be fitting to '85 GTX. I can see this being a job that takes some time........

Cheers

If you have the whole deal, loom from fuse box along with the other bits then go for it.
All the gtx's ive owned have had them and ive never had any issuses, apart from the passenger window being a little slow.
Dead easy to pop them in personly i dont think theres any ball ache with fitting..

Go for it, after all you brought them
