Too right. Spent about an hour cleaning each one beforehand. Having said that, they weren't all that dirty to begin with.

Thanks Dave. So far as cleaning products are concerned, I tend to buy the cheap stuff. For the door cards, I sprayed them with Autoglym Interior Shampoo (Halfords 3 for 2), scrubbed them with a small nail brush, and then used a cheap handheld steam cleaner like this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1050W-HAND...item41678e9eba) with the head wrapped in a Halfords microfibre cloth (5 for £3.99).

Removing rear door cards is a great moment to implement a one touch auto-up feature for rear windows.

This mod is very simple. Contacts 5 and 8 should be merged together at the motor electrical connector housing. Basically, the wire that arrived to contact 8 (that wire was yellow colour on my car) should be also delivered to contact 5 which is currently empty.

Great idea Sergey, and wish I had known about it at the time
