    Wink Power windows install

    was just wondering how hard would it be to install electric windows on my sl, where would the switches go and were could i get the power unit things from? would it be easier just to rip it off a calias ?
    any ideas or suggestions?
    cheers

    you need calais door trims, they have no hole for the wonder handles and a place to fit the switches. Theres a how-to on this forum on exactly this topic, have a quick read of that before you decide wether or not it's worth it.

    Also keep in mine you'll probably need to rewire a few of the switches etc as the soldering doesn't hold up so well after 20 years...

    yeh was planning to do central locking some stage aswell
    is sourcing the calias bits hard and how long will it take to do
    or should it be saved for Ron?
    and the how to thread? could someone post a link i had a look but couldnt find it. maybe im blind haha
    would something like this complete it, does the main switches the 4 sit in the centre console? and would i definatley have to get calais rear door trims?
    cheers

    would be pretty cool and might do it a lot later, still have the trusty old window winders of which i need new ones
