Fitting Rear Electric Window Motors To A Cti! Can It Be Done?

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

I used to have an escort cabriolet that i fitted rear electric window motors too that i bought off ebay and on unwrapping was quite surprised to see how compact they were considering the size of the rear wings and the fact that the window goes all the way down. Im tempted to try fitting them in my cti. Has anyone ever fitted any leccy motors in theirs from any other car sufficiently? I once fitted audi 80 (old W reg) front motors into a mk1 fiesta I had at the time, it was rough looking with bolt heads showing through though lol Ive never seen electric rears in a 205 myself but its just a pain in the arse to drop the electric roof electric fronts and then reach over one at a time and arm wrestle the bloody rear winders.

I have been looking at this too and have seen them fitted in one of Hilgie / Sanders friends CTIs.

 

Luckily I have Mr Tickle arms so I can wind them down easily (to stop the rattle!)

Yes i forgot about the rattle as well ,ive already got the escort window motor to try but ive got the car is pieces at the moment with doors off and paint drying so im not going anywhere near it for the time being even tho im itching to get my hands in it, do you have any idea or can you fin out what motors that cars got in it and more importantly which switches to control them too as ive not thought about this part yet!

A bit of double sided foam tape at the top of the window stops the rattle and if it is small enough can't be seen!

I have some after market "universal" type motors that fit over the winder where the handle normally goes that i've been meaning to try. Also, I think that this may allow me to re-position the mechanisms and fit some speaker grilles, with the actual speakers mounted in the boot, facing outward so the sound is channelled through the grilles........ I must be lucky, my windows don't rattle :-)

If I had a manual hood and a Phase 1.5 / 2 CTI then I would fit the centre console tray from a power hood CTI and wire both motors up to the same switch so you can lower both at once

Nice idea that but its sacrilege id rather have electric roof than windows any day altho ive got both cos im greedy but im super greedy and want all 4 electric ive got lots and lots of time off work at the end of this week so will be having a go at trying the escort electric motor. The cti front electric window regulators are harder to find than an electric roof, at least it was for me, ive done both and the car my roof came from had manual windows too. Has anyone got any suggestions on windows switches for all 4? I was thinking about doing the escort 4 bank plate somehow that fits into the escort centre console but it might be a tad too wide, and i dont really want to replace the roof switch panel as ive got a nice speech synthesizer from another french car and its control panel will fit right besides the roof switch lovely. By the way what causes the rear windows to rattle in the first place?

CTI power fronts are easy as you just adapt some normal tin top ones.

 

It is a pity the CTI won't take a GTI roof console as there are two blanks in that which fit standard electric window switches perfectly (I used one for my smoothed boot years ago)

 

Put a little rocker switch on the back of the drivers door electric window switch holder for the rear windows

Excellent idea, thats what I shall do. Cant believe i didnt think of that myself thanks Henry

Left switch is for the electric roof, but right switches are for the rear windows.
