The Internal Door handle mount has been removed. This is so we can have access to the inside of the door.

On this we are about to remove the manual winder from the door.

Here is the winder coming out. It's a real pig of a job to do. The Electric unit going in is a lot easier.

This is showing how the window is held in, just with a plastic clip, once in the window does does not move.

This is showing everything back in place now just the door card to go back on.

Parts needed to do this little mod are:

Both rear door electric windows winder units & both rear door looms. Also 4 door cards that have the openings for electric windows, the drivers windows switch & switches for the rear windows.

I also got hold of the drivers loom thinking that I might have to change that over as well. Turned out that I didn't need it after all. All of the wiring was in place.

This mod applies to MK3 LX facelift models. Owing to ford cost cutting, on the LX the electric windows were deleted as an standard item, but you could have them as an option fitted if you wanted them at £260.

Time to fit door cards all round & changeover the winders about 3hrs.

Have a look at this post for Pics.
