SweetXR Member 124 Member For: 23y 2m 16d Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 16/05/07 05:31 AM Posted 16/05/07 05:31 AM Does anyone know why a lot of XR5 turbos are being delivered with manual rear windows? The brochure indicates that it is all power but the 3 I have seen at the dealer have manual rear.

There is a $1000 rebate for people that have ordered theirs and it has turned up with manual windows. Having said that, you can have power windows installed using genuine parts for about $1k too.

That is using genuine parts too.Where did you get $4-5k from? The $1000 is for customer inconvenience, as they were mis-built. That is why there are a few around dealerships ATM, cause people that ordered them are pulling out.Any further discounting is between the customer and dealer.

In order to achieve Global Close there are a host of other bits (inc ECU I think) that have to be upgraded. If you want all the gory details rego on FordXR5Turbo.com and I'll give you access to the thread.
