Rear electric windows
How easy is it to change from manual ( wind up ) rear windows to electric ?
If I got new rear doorcards from a car that had rear electric windows is it just a case of fitting an electric winding mechanism into that door and plugging in somewhere ? I'm asking as I have a chance of mint non wrinkled door cars from a car that has rear electric windows and have old skool windy ones

Don't you want your rear passengers to kepp fit Mark?
Joking aside, you've asked a very big question there. I'll try and create a list of what you'll need, assuming you only have the basic front window set up. Rear window electric regulators (left & right) Rear door looms (L&R) Rear window door cards including window switches (may as well get the front door cards from the donor to match) Drivers door window switchpack (gives driver control over rear windows Drivers door loom for 4-window operation Any other loom not already fitted to link from drivers window switchpack to rear doors I think that's everything - now for the good bit! There's a chance that the original loom has the wiring for all 4 windows to be electrically controlled in which case, you'll probably only need the window regs, rear door switches and drivers switchpack. You'll need the door cards as well of course but that would be for either option. Easiest way of finding out what you'll need is to remove the drivers window switchpack and have a look to see if the wiring is there for two extra switches to plug onto it. Then remove the door card(s) from one or both rear doors and see if there is wiring there for the window switch in each and the motor. That's about the only way you can be certain of what you're starting with, until you know that you won't know exactly what you need. I think i've covered everything in the list above, apologies if not but it gives you a good starting point for checking to see what you'll need.

I'm planning on taking all door cards which will have all switches in and then rear motors/regulators. I'm hoping wiring will be there but I think it will be a bit suck it and see. Fingers crossed
Thanks Scoob

I wasn't really planning on doing this just yet as I still have mechanical stuff I want to get sorted but when non wrinkled doorcards come along you've got to grab em

I've done this on my 740.
It's fairly straightforward - just a case of getting the right parts. My 740 had the wiring for the switch on the driver's door, but I needed both rear door wiring looms for doors with electric windows. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't grab them from the donor car Note that window mechanisms are different between 740 and 940, at least some years - pretty sure I've a 940 one in the shed if you're interested. Everything else is as Dave says - reckon on it taking 2 hours in total as you have to remove the B pillar trims. |

But which spring!
If you're plundering the donor car for the motors/regulators, door cards, switches, door looms etc Mark, it might pay to also get the B-post trim, any other trim you might have to remove, the convoluted rubber trunking between the doors and B-posts and anything else that you might need for yours at some point, even if it's the wrong colour. It's easier to recolour trim that is intact than repair broken trim or find a bit in the right colour when you're desperate!
