Tried the search function and Wiki. The wiki suggests that you can convert from manual winder opening to electric by just fitting the motor and button. Is it that simple? Anyone done it?

I found that I needed the complete electric sunroof mech from donor,so I used motor mount complete with guide tubes.
The motor needs it's matching harness to make wiring easy,a wire runs down the n/s pillar trim to the accessories socket behind the glovebox.
This gives a power sunroof that works with the ign on,the stock arrangement where it can be operated by just opening a front door is more complex!

You also need to consider just what you will do with the hole left when the manual winder is removed.I was working on a touring,and used the black moulded front headliner bit that came out of my donor SE saloon.This required modification to the touring's headliner.Saloon's have a fabric roof liner,so thought needs to be given to this as well.

Cool thanks
