Replacing electric window and sunroof motors

[l55lee]

I think that I may have found a bargain 16v GTI. 

Apart from a small bit of rust, the o/s electric window is temperamental.

Also, the electric sunroof will open but has to be closed manually.

Does it sound like it could be the motors that are at fault and how easy is it to replace them?

As ever, thanks for your help guys! 

Cheers

If the window is tempremental then it is more likely to be a fault in the wiring than the motor.

For further info , the wires when they pass through the rubber boots between the door and the body shell can snap , or even short .

With the problem being intermittent it wouldnt think you have a problem with the motor or mechanism .

if you try and use the window with the door car off you should hear it clicking a new motor i dont know how much it would cost but i had a new window mech last month cost me about £70 for one with out the motor
