ZC33 Swift - Convert rear windows to electric?

[EmilA]

Picked up a new daily driver last week, knew the rear windows were winding ones but the more I think of it, the better it would be to have electric ones if possible. Google just shows me kits from India that doesnt look to be OEM, I would want it done like OEM if possible.

Any recommendations for kits?

Also, the collision sensor is so sensitive, any idea on how to decrease it? Even creeping forward when the lights go green causes it to activate!

I'm guessing you don't mean ZC33 as that would be the Sport model which does have electric rear windows. Converting sounds like a lot of effort/cost for very little benefit, unless you've always got someone in the back who always wants the windows down and is unable/unwilling to wind them manually. You could get some rear doors from a breaker but that's probably gonna be a few hundred quid and who knows if they'd be compatible anyway.

As for the collision sensor, yes it's awful. I'm not aware of any method of reducing sensitivity; my MX-5 had this option and it was very handy, it basically turned it off without having to actually turn it off every time you got in the car. You could also turn the volume of the alert right down, too. There is a 'hidden' menu on the central display between the dials when you hold down both buttons for a few seconds, that has a few features you might find handy.

Enjoy the car, they're great.

Ah yes mine is just the 1.2l hybrid and not the sport model. I thought this was the generic model code.

Its more so for the kids and to stop them constantly winding them down when its freezing cold! If it could be done for £200/300 I'd do it but anything more than that and I'll leave it as is.

Glad to know I'm not the only one suffering with the sensor issue, I've used that menu to adjust the clock on the dash, I'll take another look to see if I can adjust it in there.
