i believe the drivers side switch goes via the ecu to be able to control the auto function, whereas the passenger side is direct to the window motor, I'm sure someone will know for certain   s:? :? s:?

You are right Jay.  :-) :-) :-)
Looked into doing it myself too.

I think as part of the fix you also need to transpose a window motor into the passenger side too. Something I read a while ago though.

EDIT: Some hints to walk away from it!! (http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33580&hilit=auto+window)
