    I've just finished installing power windows without any problems and I'm looking for some plugs that go into the holes where the window winders were. I can't afford new door trims at the moment so if any one knows where I can get some, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Looks like a neat spot to install some tweeters. Just an idea, what do you think???

    Not a bad idea except I'm pretty right for tweeters and I don't want to pull everything apart again.

    could be, but you would have to remove the whole winder socket, not sure on whats involved with doing that, can anyone shed some light on this, id like to try it

    Since you have power windows there is no winder socket in the way. You could put small tweeters in the holes providing the magnets aren't too deep. Flush mounted tweeters would be ideal. I have been giving it some thought and it is really a good idea, djlingard.
    Here is a picture of the hole. I covered the hole where the winder spindle was with black tape but you could feed the wires for the tweeters through that hole.

    Maybe you have aftermarket power windows instaled because that looks nothing like the genuine part I removed or installed.
    The first picture is of the old manual regulator I removed and the second picture is a close up of the spindle which looks nothing like yours.
