First off, anyone done this? Has it been done before?

Thinking of retrofitting electric rear windows to my 2014 MK7.5 Titanium

Quick brainstorming tells me I need the following:
New switch for drivers door
New door cards for both rear doors with switches
New wiring looms for rear doors
New inner door panels for both doors including motor/regulator and door control modules
Prob some forscan changes

Would this be all I would need? Any other ideas? Would internal wiring in the car be present or would this need to be modded too? Any ideas how to check?

Hope you guys can give some input before I start spending £'s on bits that I can't get working....

Thanks in advance :-D

Why do you want to do this?

I've a 4 door with manual rears windows and I don't think I've ever wanted to open the rear windows from the drivers seat

3 Reasons really:

 

1 is the annoying window drop that occurs magically, you will see there is another thread on it

2 My 5 year old nephew has a habit of playing around with the windows, electric ones can be disabled from the drivers seat

3 Because I can and I like playing with things :-D lol

It's quite an easy mod to do as an aftermarket version. There's various kits online that you can buy. I guess you could get the factory door cards and wire it up to those switches. Would require a bit more effort to get it working on the drivers switch as well though.

Bit the bullet and decided to go for it

Bought all the bits I need apart from door looms, struggling to find them unfortunately, can't even find a part number at the moment

Be very interested to read how you get on wth this, please take many photographs as you carry out the mod!  Good luck! 👍🏻

Done this today

Now have rear electric windows, fully working :-D

Will write a guide when I get some time, have taken quite a few pictures too ;-)

Well done Liam! 🏆

Looking forward to the guide and photographs 👍🏻

Any update on the guide? Do you happen to have the part numbers handy too? I'm looking into doing this myself

Sorry for the delay but finally got round to throwing together a quick guide, hope it helps: https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/102637-guide-retrofit-rear-electric-windows/

How did you use forscan, like what system and how did you do it, something I can’t really find out on here
