Just amazing!
I'm putting my 70 GMC back together and came across a part that WASN'T made in China or Tiawan!
My power windows where made in Italy. How's that for a rare part?

Re: Just amazing!
These power windows use the factory roller channels for the window mechanism. Notice the date 03/29/99. I got these from Brothers about 20 years ago.
Here you go...

Re: Just amazing!
Still available for about $377.00 each. Versus LMC $170.00 for both windows. I would guess the Italian quality is WAY better than the LMChina parts.

Re: Just amazing!
I am also into firearms and recently bought some new magazines for my Ruger MK II. Ruger mags are a bit spendy so to try to save a few dollars I bought two from MecGar. They performed just as well as original and where manufactured in Italy, sold craftsmanship and good value.....

Re: Just amazing!
Around the turn of the century is when the China made syndrome was getting started and much more hit & miss. One could actually avoid buying inferior knock-off crap. But that crap won out by people sucking that crap right up rather than make a stand like some of us. This is not a new conversation.
