lol. i have the sort of same problem, but the other way round. i have 5 door leccy windows set to TRY to fit into a 3 door. They are totally different. The metal bit that the motors are connected to on the bottom of the actual glass is different. For a 5 door, theres two holes for two bolts to hook onto, and on the 3 door, its like the manual system (long divider).

If you want to fit the 3 door ones onto the 5 door, you need to remove the metal bits, and get some from a 3 door, and fit them so they can match up. BUT, i warn you, you WILL end up damaging the windows. Trust me, i've done it :lol: (chipped the bottom of the glass, as they are VERY tightly attached.

If that wasnt enough gobble-de-gook, i will also say that i have some wires missing on mine as well, as when we removed the stuff, we didnt think that i'd be fitting them in another car. So, i have wires that are not connected to anything, and havent a clue how to hook them up. :lol:
