2ndspecies 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 i just won some new door ttrims on ebay for my 85 323i got them today and turns out there from the power window version. with a few plugs included... i was wondering weather or not it would be worth the trouble of attempting to put power windows in my car or just make some holes for the window spindle? anything would help.. searched for threads with similar titles but had no luck...

jpp 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 From what I can imagine, it'd be easier to just buy some new manual winder doors! You could wire them up rather easy, but I wouldn't bother wiring up to the fuse box or to the computer [if it does] just make your own wiring diagram and go for it, making sure that it can't be operated when accesory button is off. You will also need a power window console, door cards, and switches + fuses, wiring, sh*t load of time and effort etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 ummm aren't the door trims all the same because the switches were in the centre console? Electric window cars just have the hole for the manual winder blocked off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ducatiss 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Yeah I'd agree - too much hassle though anything can be done if you really want it. I'd stick with the manual windows - less to go wrong and think of the weight savings ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
