Re: <e-30> central locking glove box

[holly & david estes <estehol@xxxxxxxxxx>]

David, thanks for the info.  It was exactly what I was hoping someone
would come along with.  I think this would be a great retrofit for my
wife's cabrio.  If you could let me know how the install goes, I'd
really appreciate it.  It would at least let me know how many sixers
I'll need to pick up:)  (Maybe I'll have to buy the 3.5 liter mini-keg
of Warsteiner).
	I just bough an '89 ix last night.  Really excited.  I'm probably going
to have to install the cool Euro/Canadian heated lock retrofit.  That
goes for about $180 after CCA discount from the local dealer (maybe a
little bit higher than what you could get, but I have a fantastic
relationship with the parts manager).  Thanks again, and keep in touch,
David
