Electric Windows in MK1 Cabriolet - help.....

Has anyone got the GSF electric window conversion in their MK1 Cab ?

If so have you any tips on how to fit as a mate of mine is struggling  :banghead:

Yeah I've fitted one. Not the best kit but once they're in they seem to work fine. Quite a smooth operation and fast too.

Tips!

The bolts that stick through the holes in the door around the motor were too long on the set I had. I needed to chop them a bit shorter.

The motor has clearance issues at the top. I managed to just squeeze it in there without having to bend any of the door.

I used some rubber door wedges in between the glass and the slot in the door to keep the glass in various positions when bolting it to the mechanism.

I had a different aftermarket kit (electric life) in there before and I had some original manual mechanism parts missing. Once I sourced them I got on ok. Just a fair bit of jiggling about to get them installed.

Hope this helps,

Ross
