Anyone know how hard it is to fit power windows into a vl Belina ? Can it be done with ease or is it a job most people would stay away from ?

The harnesses are there in the dash for it, its just a matter of getting the plug in harness parts and the regulators for the windows and all the switches, its a big job but id say it would be worth it.

Been thinking about this one myself - kinda put off by the whole idea of trying to install the window motor into the door and make it work!

Yeah don't bother with electrics. The regulators are pretty easy to put in, they have really big pop rivets that can be replaced with 1/4 in bolts. But installing the glass is a totally different story. You definitely need 2 people and some patience, you have to line up one roller then raise or lower the window with the switch to get the other roller in, and you have to watch the first roller doesnt come out during the process. Meaning you have to start over again. This is all done while trying not to have the glass bottom on the side impact bar or scratch the fuc out or your tint on the nasty regulator teeth! Best idea is to put 2 layers of masking tape over the tint. All in all they're an asshole of a setup. Goodluck to you.
