It's pretty straightforward - just make sure nothing interferes with the window. Disassembling more of the hatch than necessary will make access easier. For the interior hatch release, I did something pretty similar to what this thread is showing (Interior Hatch Release (quick & dirty)). You...

Forgot to follow up to confirm this is the case ^. The arms of the door checks themselves are identical and have one side marked "L" and the other "R", so just assembled as mirrors. I wasn't able to de-pin the lug off the end to reassemble/convert them with the tools and patience I had on hand...

I've got a tan one from an 02 I never use - it's from a smoker's car but could probably get rid of the smell with a wash and some ozone generator time (how I got the smell out of the rest of the car). Let me know if you're interested.

Ok sweet. Wasn't sure if that 10mm bolt was offset vertically from the bar at all or not (if so there could be some misalignment if flipped). I'll give that a try this weekend, thanks!

Looks like I stumbled across this too late with the kits no longer being available and JZiggy just running out too... For people who have done this / handled these door checks before, what are your thoughts on converting a RH check to a LH one? I know they're different PN's and not directly...

Sure - as a disclaimer I'm not an electrician or anything, probably incorrect terminology and bad practices below... This is at least my understanding of what's going on and the mod worked for me with no side effects. The attached pdf walks through the FSM wiring diagram with the modifications...

My experience with this method (if I remember right) was any unlock switch that unlocked the trunk would cause the rear window to go all the way down - the driver side unlock, passenger side unlock, and the trunk key cylinder (even if turned just momentarily to unlock). Tapping the "down" line...

Figured out a way to make this work on an 02 with one switch, no weird side affects. The simplest way I found, like you said, is to use the OP mod but then also have that switch power relays that open/close the unlock detection switch in parallel (if you cross the circuits together you end up...
