im in the middle of fitting electric mirrors and windows to my 1993 gsi. i have the motors, switches and door looms from a 99 sport. the multiplug on the car has 16 wires going into it, and the multiplug in the door has 9 wires coming from it. but when i pluged my new loom in none of the wires in the multiplugs seemed to be in the right places? im pretty sure my car has the wiring for electric windows as there is a fuse there. any help will be great thanks

so you are saying the loom is there on the car side? so you've put the loom in the doors and plugged it all in, yes? Just connect the two at the multiplug, they only connect one way, they twist round and lock. Multiplugs are designed to prevent people having problems like this lol

im assuming it has the wiring as it has the metal prongs in the fuse box for electric windows. i know how to connect the multi plug.
the car multi plug behind the kick panel has 16 wires.
the old door looms with no electric windows/mirrors has 9 wires
my new door looms have 21 wires

it's easy and complicated.
If you want to wire it in properly, you need to start from scratch with a new loom.
If you want to bodge it, I suggest this:
In theory, every wire, whether it has fuses, relays, switches, whatever, boils down to negative or positive. You need to 2 wires from the battery. Positive should be with a relay, suitable for the electric windows and a fuse, then run the positive wires off this wire, but solder them properly and negative should obviously be for the earths.
That's all you can do, but I'm not sure if you can 'overload' a wire by attaching too many positives to it, I doubt it but I don't know.
