Galaxy, Sharan And Bodywork Swap Advice

[cbrpaul]

Long story cut short

 

Wife smaked my 1999 sharan tdi SE against the drives iron gates/posts,,, severe nsr door damage , and a bent 2"x1/4" iron drive gate

 

Also door handle completely ripped off , with damaged internal door release mechanism,A MESS !!

 

So a complete new rear door is required.

 

I have sourced a 1998 Ford Galaxy rear door , my question is

 

A: Will a 1997 galaxy nsr door fit a 1999 Sharan

B:The repalcement Galaxy door has a manual window, where as mine is Electric , but not bothered as long as the door loom connector is the same? ie central locking will still work

 

Are there any other potential problems, ???

 

many thx

Afaik there shouldn't be any problems, you could remove & swap door cards and swap all the gubbins inside to give yourself leccy windows, same key for lock etc, the doors are heavy though when fully assembled.

same doors apart as you state dif specs for trim an leccy bits
