you cant, they're totally different.  The scissor mechanism connects to a bracket on rear of glass, which is bolted thru a hole in the window.  This is not present on tintop glass.

i saw someone make their own by drilling off the rivets holding mk1 manual winder mech on, then weldign on the electric mech from another car, iirc he used scirocco ones.  Also heard MK2 rears fit, and rocco ones but not sure how true that is.
