At the moment i have manual windows!

How would i know if i have the looms there already for leccy windows?
I am gettin 2 doors that have leccy windows!

I was looking earlier, and pulled of the black rubber boot on the car body, and there are alot of wires there, so i assume that there is!
The only thing on the doors that are electric are the mirrors!

Is it a matter of taking off the door card??

any help would be grateful


thanks

its not the wiring in the doors you should be bothered about.
You need to see if the car itself is pre wired or not!

Think the easiest way to check this would be to look under the centre console around the gearstick area and see if the plugs are there for the switches.

If they are you have an easy conversion but if not it a bit more involved.

There are other ways of checking for the wiring but to be honest im not 100% on what to check!

Hope this helps :)

Yes, look under the centre console for the switch sockets.
No big deal if they're not. It's only two wires to each motor, and take the power feed from pin Q (just to the right of the bottom pin of the four pin radio socket) of the accessories socket at the back of the glovebox.
Feed the wires through the big hole in the door pillar plug and socket and into the doors if neccessary.
