if your using vauxhall windows its not to hard, but first you have to make sure what loom you have going to your doors, if you remove the rubber flexy conector thats between your door and car body and see how many contacts you have, if you have two then you cant, if its full and got like 10-15 etc then you should be able to, but there also are cars that only have central locking looms and not electric window so its a bit of head scratching to see what you'v got.

yes there is but you'l have to pull up all your carpet and remove your seats and run a full front end loom across the car from another corsa, as the electric windows are linked togeather, but doing this its all connected to a giant plug in the footwell and at the same time you might aswell take the whole of the rear loom aswell and change that at the same time so it becomes more of a remove and replace situation, and if you find a car with electric windows its more than likely got central locking you you'd be stupid if you didnt use it all as the window looms and central locking looms are all combined if you get me? its a right pain in the ass, if you do have a spare car to remove it from then its not so bad, but if you would have to source a car to take it from dont bother trust me, its more hastle than what its worth, just save some money and get another car in a year or so with a bigger engine and all the optional extras like i did, its a hell of alot easier! i helped a mate practically build his corsa and theirs no way i want to do it again lol

thats the easiest option, otherwise you'l have to replace your whole interior loom else and thats a right pain.

or just do what I did and fit universal window kit. I did it last year and no trouble since. and straight forward to fit. just a hassle getting the wiring from on place to the other and to the battery. but thats all.
