I'm thinking about converting to power and was looking for reviews if anyone here had ever used them. Thanks!

There are two "types" of power window kits. One is a true replacement with new regulators and motor that mounts in the doors much like the original. The other is a functional kit that has a motor that uses a cable system that attaches to the manual window regulators to move the windows.

I had the latter installed on my wife's (then fiancée) Plymouth Sundance to give her power window action. It worked ok until it got cold then slowed WAY down. Then the gear that attaches to the manual window crank area stripped out. I could not get replacement parts so I wound up buying a whole new kit.

Eventually, we traded it in on a Caprice Wagon Family hauler. V-8s are SO MUCH better!!

My suggestion is to try to find a kit that is as close to the original system as possible.
