I have a full set of doors with manual windows that should swap straight over. The only issue is colour. Mine are (lustless) greeny colour.

power windows on 24/7, takes all of about 2 minutes to do if you have the bridging cable premade.

Just did this. Easy 15min job. Used spade terminals, mini blade fuses and holders. Power from brown wire of unused multiplug sitting just above the plate holding the fuse blocks.

Great mod much thanks Blknight.
