Hi all G-mates,
I found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&it...
and I am thinking of putting them on my G. Any idea what else do I need (switches, relau etc) for a complete installation?
Thanks Angelos.

Re: power window

I would assume that you need the full Monty (motor assembly, switchs, cabling, relays) Assuming that you can get the motor assemblies as cheaply as those -which I am unsure, as I am trying to contact the vendor myself- I would go for them and source the rest of the stuff from a breaker's yard or German Ebay... I wouldn't go for used motors as the glass in the G is very heavy and they get very, very tired.

Cheers!

Re: power window

Those window regulators are not MB ones. They appear from the picture to include the motor. Bosch sells the motor separately for £150+. So they are cheap parts if the quality is there. I would want to closely examine one prior to purchase as there is alot of stress on the components. It is a UK company selling on German ebay, are they selling on UK also?

Re: power window

Roly,
I have asked to be sure that the motor is included, the answer was positive. They sell even to Greece :oops: , I assume that they sell to UK as well. Concerning the guarantee I am not sure but a UK G-mate could give us the info :D
Mortinson,
I believe that if we know the type of relau we could buy one brand new from a Bosch dealer for example. There are switches on ebay. The only think that we have to find is that the drivers switch and relau is different than the co-drivers one. I believe the drivers window is moving up in two different ways, one all the way up and second partially.
Any way I believe if those window regulators covered by guarantee worth to try them 8)

Angelos, do you have an e-mail address for the vendor? The one on Ebay does not seem to work.

Negative,
he answered through a message that I have sent via ebay.
Just to confirm that the one that I gave you was the correct I submit it again

I am working on WIS to find the correct pieces that we need to have the complete set.
Buenos noches (correct? :oops: )
