oh, and that linked procedure (above) only states the battery Neg needs to be disconnected for 5 seconds, do we really need it disconnected for 30 minutes?

5 seconds should be fine, many manuals seem to give a variance of up to 30mins on many cars for ECU's to lose their memory. I am not an expert, so went for worst case lol.

I will need to do this to my windows soon so I'll throw up a vid and written guide soon.

In the meantime - here is some images on how to remove the door trim and what to grease.

Also may be a good idea to add instructions for remote programming to the list of issues people have.

I know for the KE/KF Xi, the method of turning the key on and off to get the car into programming mode doesn't work (apparently it works on the KE/KF Ei models according to other members, but I know it certainly doesn't work for the Xi's). Proper instructions for getting these cars into programming mode can be found here: https://img855.imageshack.us/img855/6...limage148o.jpg
