power window kit is available for golf/jetta

[blhfla]

Newbie to list, but have owned my share of liquid cooled VWs. Don't know if this has been mentioned before but there is a custom fit power window kit for Golfs/Jettas from A1Electric for $500 or less. Details at: http://www.a1electric.com/golf.htm. I installed the 4 door kit in a few days - it is straightforward although a bit involved. The instuctions had the motor wiring reversed so I had to cut/switch/splice the two motor leads to get the up/down direction correct (of course I found out after complete reassembly - gee, I guess it is wise to test first, THEN reassemble) and the rear wire harnesses were mislabeled so the dashboard rear switches operate the opposite windows (corrected by more cut/switch/splice), but otherwise everthing was fine. The kit is German manufactured and the switches are VW style - I believe this is the OEM kit. Overall I am quite pleased as I no longer have to reach over to operate the passenger window. If anyone is interested I can provide my email if you want more details.

Gee, that was a LONG time ago. I no longer have the car, nevermind the kit info. However, I am sure if your call the company (888) 838-0506 (per their website) and describe what you want they can assist you. I can say that the kit I received from them was top notch, looked and performed like OEM, and installation was for the most part eventless, although time-consuming (I spent more than an entire weekend on it) - but hey it is four doors plus dashboard switches, and once it was done I was VERY satisfied with it.

Sorry I can't help with any more than that. It is a good thing this forum forwards replies to private email or I would not have seen your reply. Heck I even forgot that I posted this here way back then. Good luck and go for it, if you can follow instructions and turn wrenches you can do the installation, and it is well worth it.
