Is it hard to convert manual windows/sunroof to electric? I have access to a doner car with power windows/sunroof and want it in mine

I wouldn't have thought so,i believe all the wiring is already in place just needs connecting up to the gear you fit.
I would think it would be fairly time consuming to do the roof though due to the headlining.

not sure on the windows, sure someone can help you on here but the sunroof hey man i did that to myself easy peasy.
all you need is the motor and relay from the donar car plus the headlining, also it would help and be better for the fitment, motor mount. this is found under the headlining, where the motor mounts to, can use the manual one but will have to modify slightly to position the motor.
step 1 open sunroof and remove visor thingy, clips off, then remove about 6 screws (i think), this will drop down the headlining,
step 2 from inside remove the pillar covers from both sides, and the sun visors,
from memory all i can remember is the headlining should drop down and if you have the manual winder remove the one screw in the middle and it shuold drop down.
simply bolt the motor on to the mount feed the wiring down the left of the car pillar and plug in to the control box by the glove box, the cars is already wired up, (blue green i think?) find same colour wire and plug it in and play.
thats what i can remember, did this like last summer really good mod, it really is straight foward.
have fun
