Leccy windows
« on: 29 October 2004, 10:20 »
Considering upgrading my manual front windows for electric type.  I'm not the most mechanically minded Golf driver but have a fair amount of common sense.  Has anyone done this and is it easy, are there any instructions floating about on the net??  Cheers.

The hardest part is actually finding the regulators and loom, once you have that its dead easy.  All you need is an ignition live and earth then you're sorted!

Simply a case of unbolting old stuff and bolting in the new kit, but make sure you get the right type as there are 2 door types, the early one with the mirror half way down the door and the late type with the 1 piece glass.

3 & 5 front door regulators are the same, but the rear door regulators are different to the fronts.

expect to pay around ?25 for each window regulator

switches & loom are easy to find. its the regulators that aint, start searching the length of the country!!

look for people who are breaking golfs.

Find out what year they came from, I'm pretty sure the doors switched over in 86/87.? Dont quote me on that though ;)

Cheers rj, that's really good of you, I will start my hunt for the hardware now.  Will probably be in touch when I get stuck with the installation!!  Thanks again, Jez

you want to go to GSF matey. they do a complete front electric window kit.
you get complete mechanisms for each door. looms, switchs and a mounting plate to fit switches to center consol. plus a half decent set of instructions on how to wire them up. all of that for ?125. thats the same price as just one motor mech from a main dealer.
i have this kit fitted in my car and i think its good value for money plus good quality.
