A3 Jetta Gl Convert manuel windows to power windows

How hard is it to convert manual windows to power windows? from what I can
see just motors, window regulators, window switches, is there any wire
harness need? if so how would you install it. what else is needed? on a 96
Jetta GL to be exact.

Thank You,

Check http://www.a1electric.com/catalog/cat_volkswagen.htm. Wire harness
included. I once bought a power door lock kit from this company, quality
product and no problems buying from them.

Don't bother with the OEM stuff. It's crap. At least the Mexican
sourced stuff in the US is. (haven't had NEAR the problems with the
Germany sourced replacements - at least not yet) I've had to mess with
them more than anything else on the car. The harnesses break, the
regulators break, but strangely enough the motors have been fine.

Bad thing about the harnesses packing it is lots of times it makes the
alarm behave very strangely, and CAN immobilize the vehicle from arming
the alarm at the wrong time. Spent about half an hour once opening and
closing the rear doors to get the wires wiggled around the right way so
it'd start. Replaced the harness that weekend. Dealers seem to stock
'em. Not a good sign...
