Re: Electric windows
Bit of a pfaff but it's fairly easy, just get the whole wiring loom back to the fuse box and relay, makes life easier. Don't forget the doorcards as well.
Oh, and mark which one is left and which is right when you take them off.
Sorry, hope this isn't too obvious.

Not at all. Just what I wanted. Just need the kit

Re: Electric windows
Hardest part of hte job in all reality is getting the plugs through the rubber grommit tube things in the door.
Top tip though... duct tape your window up and over in the upish position in the door so the glass don't fall when you take the mechanism out ;)
The "upish" position is where you can see two screw heads through the two holes near the top mount screw/bolt. It'll make sense when you do it!

Re: Electric windows
I fitted these last summer and it took about 3 hours. I agree with Funky Diver abouth the grommets. I used my existing door cards and cut the holes for the switches where the winder hole was. Its the same place anyway.
