S40: - Door replacement - manual to electric swap.

STAIT · Aug 16th, 2022, 16:02

Hello
Got side swiped by a towbar on holiday. took the drivers side passenger door out. Lucky really as it looks like a straight door swap. There is a nice clean door (in colour) but its manual not electric like mine. My question is - how fiddly a job is it to swap out the electric internals form my old door to the donor manual?
Advice or some sort of encouragement would be great.

Cheers

Scott

It depends on your definition of 'fiddly'. Not too difficult a job and if I was in your position I would rather swap internals to a correct colour door than have the hassle of changing the door colour.

You have all the components in the old door, just take your time and work logically and all should be good.
