wrong, 3 and 5 door front electric motors are the same. its only big/small glass ones that are different.
I know because I had the same electric window kit in both my 5 door driver and 3 door GTI.  MK3s however have different regulators for 3/5 door.

no it doesnt, the holes for the regulators are in the same spot, so if they fit 3 doors they'll fit 5 doors. as i say, just the small and big glass ones that are different.
