Power windows

What kits have you guys used? Do you like the kit? Was it easy direct bolt on?

I used these, takes two sets of hands to install, but they work great!

It is tough drilling holes in the door jambs to route the wires, but worth the effort in my opinion.

good luck with your project,Bill

tid-bit; late 80's to early 90's Caravan assemlies come with the track & motor all in one convient piece. the part where the window attaches to it all moves in a straight vertical line. if & when I get the chance I am using the ones I scavanged from our old shop van are going in my doors. very easy to wire up to boot.

That's what I was hoping for . So have you ever put these in a truck(67-72) before? Does it bolt up the same?

I would be intrested to see the finished product there also 68C15.

Also how about replacing the manual regulator with an electric motor form a mid 90's model GM car.Some of those have just a gear connected to the motor like the manual crank.Anyone tried this one yet?

One like this one

I havent had a chance to yet. hopefully 71swb4x4 will let me try this & my latch modification idea on one of his spare doors. the 2 spares I have dont contain glass or latch. (hint-hint Shawn) if it works out ok I was thinking of putting something in FAQ.

I got mine from A1Electric and am more then pleased with them. It was a streight bolt in. I used the chrome switches and just had to trim the holes in the metal door panels to make them fit, Thats all.
