electric window questions...

Post by madseb » 18 Aug 2013 10:41 pm

hey all,
in need of some advice, as ive trawled the forum, and couldn't find any answer.

so, would a 4door electric window system from a 360, fit a 2 door vehicle? as I understand the doors are different lengths, but is there any difference for the motors and set up?
got one for breaking, and a project requiring some.

any help appreciated.
thanks

The motors+gearbox are the same but from memory the mechanism is different, not sure if it can be adapted.

Not sure if I've ever seen 2 door electric windows.

hi thanks for the answer,

I sort of had a feeling that it wouldn't fit. obviously the glass will be a different size. just wondered if I could swap the mechs/motors/wiring onto the two door?

think ill have to investigate this one for myself....

Seb, my 3 door 360GLT had electric windows so i have the two types of mechs in front of me to compare. You can modify the 4 door ones to work but it then requires welding. The pressings used are the same 3 to 5 door but spot welded together in a different orientation.
