Put in power Windows

[prosty]

Hi.

I have and 95 S2 Avant with "Manual windows" in the back, I'm looking to buy a new interiour and the interiour has power windows all over.

Has anyone switched from manual to power windows? Is it even possible?
What do you need otherwise than the wiring and the power window lifter.

it is really easy actually.all the internals of the door has all screws places to insert the motor of the power windos.All you need is to buy the mechanisms and replace the manual gear with the motor and also put the glass on the motor mechanism.Then dismiss of all manual parts and insert the buttons.thats all! pretty easy stuff to do!

Power Windows

Basically all mounting holes are in door/window frame to mount electric motor
only difference if you get from donor car is the requalator/mechanism seems two different types to window glass guide

heres how i did mine to my 1.9tdi avant with 4 manual windows....will seem a long way but i found it made life easier in long run

i got complete harness from donor carand motor regularos....switches

i removed front seats
i removed glove box
i removed drivers underdash panel
i removed all four door cards
i removed both sides b pillar trim....upper and lower
i removed center consol front and rear
i removed carpet/door sill trims

for me i had to find my feeds and earths topower up the relay/control unit

you got that already visable....making things easy

you can at this stage see what extra connections you need from old unit to doner harness or remove old harness all together
......and fit new one in its place

once seats removed harness can be fed under carpet and slotted into the plastic channeling under carpet on lentgh of car

hardest part i found was feeding harness behind dash and venterlation system....... through the rubber boots in the door jams on rear doors

i found relay on my 1.6 td saloon( only front windows) was same on the donor harnesss of mine......dont know if thats the case always


take time it will try your patience.....

I THINK I GOT ALL BASES COVERED HERE...IF NOT FRIENDS WILL FILL IN BLANKS


next part is mounting motor mechanisms at rear( same idea for fronts)
mark all bolt places and wedges in window frame(helps to align window frame for fit and finish when done)

carefull remove window frame from door shell
unclip window from winder mechanism
'
unbolt winder from window frame
bolt in electric mech in
operate mech till window in top possition refit window channel clip in place

test ok.................if ok fit back into door shell
secure window frame in door shell
close doors
test if ok refit all asbove components



Hoping i explained myself clearly........its easier to to do than say the steps


any problems feel free to call.........................
can help with wiring diagrams but not able to post....email them as have no scanner


Have fun

Prosty,

I am trying to convert to electric windows in the back and have a new electric window loom for 4 windows, but it seems I miss the last part towards the knobs in the door panels. How did you wire your rear windows?
