    Default Rear electric windows?

    As im sure you are all aware, VN Calais etc, generally only have front electric windows, is it possible to do a conversion on the rear windows to make them electric?

    But, will there be anywhere in the BEM to put power for 2 extra doors, or will it in someway combine with my fronts? That's what im confused about.

    If u really wanted to u could just tap into the power off the fronts but would be best to get all teh wireing outta the vp then u just have to run that thru to where it should go.

    Im not sure tho how hard it would be, just trying to help out a bit.

    Your Calais does not have a BCM... VN's never had one, none of them.

    Weird that its only front power windows, even my Berlina has power windows all round from factory.

    The power window module has 1 plug in it. Should have all the wires in it!!! If not - they've been removed! - or cut somewere along the loom. I have a power window loom (both side) spare in a box - I'll have a look tomorrow to see what it should look like!

    All VN Calais have four power windows from factory.

    Only berlinas and optioned SS have front only.

    You must either have a rebadged Berlina or the previous onwer removed them himself as the motors are usually only good for 10 or so years of use.

    It's not an easy job, probably not worth attempting unless you have some experience. As it's not a BCM model, you can tell if its been modified as one of the power window modules will have been removed, or will be there with no wiring running to it.
    If you need more info reply back here.
