Yes, isn't spending under £3k on a 'prestige' car great? :D He probably has to wind strange handles to open the rear windows as well :p

That should do the trick really - it's actually quite a simple thing to install and afaik you dont NEED to hook up the alarm if you dont want one.
 
lol the email reply said it all ;) I aint being snobby, if its just for the locking then go for it, I just didnt think much of the alarm.
 
I dont think I could cope with a car that doesnt have remote locking and electric windows, once youve had them never go back
 
You wait til you get keyless entry and start. Getting your keys out to do remote locking is so passe.

I thought that electric rear windows were removed in most cars to stop kids sticking their heads out of the windows then leanding on the button and chopping their heads off? :confused:

Erm, no.

I haven't been in a 4-door car without electric rear windows for a very long time.
 
Most decent cars electric windows will stop if they receive pressure against the direction of movement (ie pushed down on). Its a safety feature.
 
Yeah, the Golf does that. However it had 2 little plastic pins which sheer off when the window receives any pressure, like when it is a bit icy and you try to wind down your windows. Then it costs you £125 to fix!!

Ahh the old renault we had didn't have that feature, then we got a passat and I asked my dad when I was about 4 why it didn't have rear electric windows and that was the answer I got. :p

The real answer was that your Dad was cheap and bought the poverty spec model or he wasn't high enough up the payscale to get a high spec company car :p
 
It was the second one I believe, and that company were absolute ******** who left us in near poverty, the fact that 2 of us were going through university didn't help and that my mother got pregnant again. :D


However, its been Mondeos since then. :D

Yep the Golf mk4 suffered really bad from this.
I think the problem were the little clips that held the window in place. They every so often decided to kill themselves whenever you slam the door closed with the window half way up.
The VW Bora also suffered from this problem, my dad had to take the car 3 times to VW to get this sorted. The first 2 times it was done under warrenty but the third he had to shell out £125 but i made sure my dad told VW that he wanted the better metal clips put on so they wouldnt break in future.
So far so good! They havent died yet!
