Gave up on it for tonight, Its the metal black plate thats the mish, mounting the motor onto it and fitting it. Without the plate, just by holding it there it works, opening and closing. So at least i could see it working haha

where did you run your wires to?

the wires run to a plug behind the glove box, but im not really at that stage yet

You have to swap the black plates over, drill the copper coloured "rings" that hold it up.

There are also 4 ( i think ) screws that are hidden in the foam padding.

Yer i know, but the new copper plate is different shaped than my manual one, hard to explain so does not fit

I mean Black plate, not copper

Ok so its in and done, bit of a mish, had to get SIR E30 (Jason) to help. The only problem now is the timing is out and keeps changing, that is where it clicks. So it clicks in random places when opening it. Also when closing it it becomes super slow like it does not have enough power. This only happened when i screwed back in that black peice which stops the wind noise. So not to sure?

Thanks Jason for the help

Yeah getting the timing right is a real petch.

The gear isnt slipping on the cable is it?
