Cheers. |

FTG. They sell the whole lot for $400-$500 from memory. I inquired about a year ago, so it may have changed. I haven't done the conversion myself. The price put me off. I couldn't justify spending the money on windows that are never opened
 As for the difficulty, I'd imagine the hardest part would be getting the wiring through the rubber hose between the body and the door. |

been through this you need to replace the whole body harness ( from the dash right back to the boot) and all 4 door harnesses you also have to change the BEM ( I found this out the hard way) it will take close a full day and a lot of cursing and swearing but i'm happy with the end result

that was going to be my next question...do you have to change the BCM. Im looking at doing this for my wagon sometime in the future. but will have to wait till i have the dollars. but good to know i can get the lot for less then $600. talked to my local wrecker yesterday, about $145 just for electric regulator....and as the majority of wreckers are linked, prices are the same asutralia wide in anycase...or thats what they tell me. they actually have a fairmont wagon in their yard right now too, thats why i asked about the windows yesterday.

It involves a little more than I thought, but from what au3xr6 has said, it doesn't seem to complicated (just a b^&#h of a job :P). The hardest part for me would be handing over the money :P
That said, don't be put off by how hard it sounds. Give it a go
