Skezza Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 In all honesty, I wouldn't retrofit Electric Windows. They're the only one that if they go horribly wrong, you truly are ****ed. In more than one scenario. I remember looking at a second hand car with retrofitted windows.Firstly, the interior had big ugly holes where the old winders were, and there was no way it seemed to patch them apart from sewing some cloth over the top. The mechanism was quickly wearing out on one of the doors so it was incredibly slow rolling down and even slower rolling up, and sometimes didn't even make it all the way back up. An awkward moment when it only made it 3 quarters of the way up and the guy tried to fiddle it up using a combination of the switch and his flailing palm.Manual windows aren't all that bad dude. They always work in the freezing weather, unlike electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ripped the winder spinny handle thing off my se when the window froze up :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Haha yeah man. To be fair though i thought the exact same as you and thought that they wouldn't have properly frozen shut so i kept pushing the winder further and further. How wrong I was lol.

I've always fancied central locking as a retro fit but never been to bothered about electric windows because of how good my window winders do in the cold. That said, I think i'll be a little softer on them from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan94 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was going to buy doors with everything in from an Arosa, but it seems more hassle than it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
