Converting sunroof to electrical?

Post by bouwt »

Hi Guys,

I came across someone selling a salvage cav, which has an original electrical sunroof fitted.
Mine has a sunroof too, but manual.
What parts do I need to convert this to mine? Is it possible to bolt the controls and engine to my existing system, or do I need the complete package and swap everything?

Thanks in advance!

Just swap out your manual winder and fit the motor, panel and switch.

The only thing you will not have is the wiring from the floor connector to the roof.

The wiring is usually there from fuse 10 to the floor connector.

Thanks Robsey, agreed upon a price with him just now :)
I might log the conversion here, or is there already a similar topic? I couldn't find one, but I am simply not a very good forum searcher ;P.

I am sure a fair few of us have done it...
But feel free to post up yours.

Always good to see fresh subject matter.
