Electric rear popouts

[Stoney_god]

I've just bought some pop outs of flebay for Ԛ£4.99 !! and I gonna make them operate electrically like on the E46's!! I've got all the motors etc out of a breaker yesterday but haven't a clue about best way to wire them up... Any ideas ????

No idea about electrics but to control the pop outs you could maybe use the 'child-lock' window switch as found on four doors with rear electric windows. Wouldn't look out of place on your centre console.

No ideas mate, but it is somthing I have always fancied doing, so take loads of photos!

Good Luck

Will they attach to the window in the same position as the manual ones?
Cos if they attach at the bottom I think you may have trouble with the windows sealing.

And if you get the centre console from a 4 door it will have 4 window swiches.

Funny enough i've got a set of E46 motors to attach to my rear windows too, well one day, sometime, never.... i'll let you go first!

The mountings on the E46 window looks to be in exactly the same place as the catches on the e30 so i dont see it being a major headache. Will need to get some brackets made up to conect the motor/piston to the window frame.

To fit the extra switches the centre consol has the hole already in place you just have to cut the vinyl on the top.

Haven't even got that far..
