Electric windows
Although it did not say how much work it was to get it sorted :? Perhaps more work than wished for .

Hopefully they will work :?. And also need to be completed with relays and the buttons. Also the attachement thingy to the window is missing (well one at least).
Price was just about 25 quid so I thought it was worth a test at least.
Anyone got any pictures of how the original mk1 buttons looked like? Hard to get hold of I guess. I will probably go for the mk2 version instead.

Btw the corrado setup is not bolt-on, but not far from. Some pondering about the mounting points but that is just about is.

The Mk1 hatch never came with electric windows from the factory - they were a dealer fitted option. Mine came with an 'Electric Life' kit when new. These are proper mechanisms rather than the 'bendy wire' type (technical description there !). The switches look like Mk2 Golf switches and mine were mounted into the base of the centre console (lying 'face up' just in front of the gearstick) - a rubbish location !
I've recently bought a Spal aftermarket 'bendy wire' kit for the Caddy. Haven't fitted it yet - hope it's OK (!)
I wondered if elec mechanisms from a late Cabrio would fit ?

We can supply a full kit for the MK1 golf (and any other VAG model) and also replacement regulators for the OEM one fitted to the VAG cars.
Prices are as always very good, pm me if you need prices etc.

Quoted myself, and just wanted to mention that I now have Corrado electrical windows in the mk1 (well only the drivers side so far).
The mounting points caused the most work. I re-used the lower one from the original window lever by cutting it off and screwing it on the corrado unit. The upper one mounting point could be solved with a small bolt and a new hole.
It is operated by buttons from a Volvo 940 ops:.. mounted in the ashtray using a custom made buttonholder .
Need to tidy up the electrical cables and the mounting of the buttons before any pictures will be available .
Cheers
