or should i just get one with a motor? as in how easy is it to transferer the motor? cheers

Extremely easy.

lmao thanks @sepulchrave

^ That video is way too simplistic & misses stuff out...

 

- No mention that cars after about 2003 have pop rivets instead of bolts holding the carrier to the door, those rivets have to be drilled out and new rivets obtained and fitted with a suitable rivet tool capable of taking the size. Rivet size 6.4x10mm. Part number N91078801

 

- The door in the video is missing its wiring harness. The harness has to be fed through holes in the metal panel and connected to the lock module inside the door & to the rest of the door components.

 

- The interior door release bowden cable is missing from that door. It comes from the lock module inside the door and has to be fed through a hole in the panel.

 

- The door lock pin rod is missing from that door and has to be fed through a hole in the top of the panel.

 

- The door speaker is missing in the video. They are pop riveted from the factory & have to be swapped from your old panel. Rivet size

4.8x15mm. Part number N90765701

 

3 plastic rivets have to be drilled out of the panel in order for the panel to be removed without having to remove the door lock module including the key barrel along with it. The rivets are no longer needed afterwards, they are simply to facilitate factory assembly of lock and panel both together. Once the panel is off, remove the factory plastic bracket and chuck it in the bin. Tape over the 3 holes in the new panel.

 

Plastic rivet locations....

And if you want to do it the other way (to me the far less preferable) by removing the key barrel, lock module assembly, etc....

Swapping the window motor over may be the only easy bit of the job...😆

Yep 😄

 

feeding the window  motor wires through the door bellows was fun-not.

As said above easy job I've fine both worst parts are the pop rivets and getting plugs back through brllows but the job itself is very simple changed both mine In an hour.

There are two ways to do the job. If you do it by leaving the lock module on the door you don't have to take the harness out of the bellows. However, taking it out does give the opportunity for inspection for broken/damaged wires.
