Electric windows
I believe that the mk1 could be equiped with power windows (at least the cabrio?) but the scrap yards (here in sweden) does nt seem to have heaps of them .
So a simple way to fit pw with parts that are easily available would be greatly appreciated.

I described a way to convert your existing manual window mechanisms in the old forums (I'll look for it in a moment), but you'd need motor units which work on a similar "flexible rod" design window-winder mechanism.
Note that the window winding mechanism in the Golf Cabriolet doors (both manual and electric) is entirely different than the ones in the doors with window-frames. You might be able to get the Cabriolet mechanism to fit into a framed door, but it would probably not be easy.

I found the link to the old forum post (see below)
Note that it assumes that you already have a motor drive unit on a (worn-out) non-VAG mechanism, but the procedure should be much the same, after you have successfully found a similar motor on a (non-Golf) scrap car.

Note that the window mechanism is different on the front doors of 5-door Golfs (just in case you were going to measure off one of those…)
