No maintenance guide but, its very straight forward as the loom is in place.

You will need:

Rear door looms
Rear door motors
Rear door switches
New centre console switches.

Remove the rear door cards and peel back the plastic cover (carefuly).

Now disconnect the old door loom back to the B post, if you pulll the rubber grommit out of the B post where the loom passes through the metal you will find a multi way plug to disconnect.

Fit the new electric window loom (the wires are in palce upto the multiway plug in the B post  :y)

Drill out the pop rivets holding the door windo mechanism and remove it (takes a bit of wiggling and easier with the windo down a bit from memory, the plastic lug that connects to the window base slides out of the end of the window base rail)

Fit the new electric mechanism and pop rivet it in place.

Connec up the loom to the motor and switch

Re-fit the door cards etc

Now replace the centre console switch (easy to access with the gear selector/lever boot popped out).

Job done!

Can you give me a rough idea of a price for the full kit.  I can't afford to do this at the moment but would like to in the not too distant future.  Cheers.
