Question Manual to electric window conversion

I have a friend that wants to buy all the parts to convert his manual windows to electric from me (just got an s5 parts car).

I just need to know what all is needed exactly and if it will work. Like are there any wires from the body harness or anything that wont be present on a manual window car that are needed for the electric windows to work?

What all parts are needed for this exactly?

All help appreciated.


Oh yah and I did search, didn't find a whole lot. All I found was one thread from like 2 or 3 years ago that got no responses :|

Um...

I'd say the easiest thing to do would be to pull a door apart & see if it has random wires hanging around that look like they go to window related things.

Also, you'll have a hole in the door carpet to cover.

I guess I just don't see the point of putting a heavier annoyingly complex system in place of a light bulletproof one.

His door panels are screwed up and he wants to convert to electric anyways. My parts car has electric s5 door panels (which he also wants a place to mount door speakers) and all the parts for it, this is why he wants to do it.

It's hard for me to check his stuff, he lives a ways away and I'm just trying to find this out by Thursday when the parts car should be towed home and I can pull off the parts for him.
