hey guys,
i have had a lot of problems trying to get the electric windows installed in the rear doors of my car. it turns out they are from a sedan and they dont go in a hatchback... so i was wondering if anyone has any spare brackets from theirs or parts from their rear elec windows i could buy or if they know of a mazda bj hatch being wrecked nearby that they could get some parts cheap?
as ive been quoted 160 ea for the wiring from ford,
135 ea for the motor and bracket and wiring from a wrecker plus postage
and the nearby wreckers dont even have any...
so i was curious if someone had their motor break or something or knew of some parts i needed...
thanks for any help.
if not ill just have to buy the interstate ones and try to sell the rear setup somehow...

pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between the two setups?

your right tony, i thought they were the same too but:

the sedan doesnt have wiring for the door speakers
the bracket is a completely different shape. it seems to be long and thin instead of short and wide. so it wont work....
and also i scratched the tint on my windows getting the stupid thing in/out of there. grrrrrrrrr. wasnt a good day. lol
