I am looking into converting my car into power windows and was wondering if anybody has done it before and how hard of a job it would be. A local shop gave me an estimate of 300 to do it and they didn't know if they could wire the kit to the factory switches which i really want. Any help would be nice.
check out Autoloc. They have power window kits.
Autoloc and Spal are the 2 bigg ones. I know for shaved door handel kits Spal is by far the perfered company for having better solinoids. I have an Autoloc power lock kit that, so far so good, but then again I finished install this mourning. I to am looking into power window kits, trying to deciede on autoloc or spal.
The shop i was thinking about taking it told me i would have to get a Spal kit and thats the recommended kit. I found it the cheapest on slickcar.com. Is there any difference between the regular kit and the deluxe kit because its only a five dollar difference because i am probably just going to get the deluxe anyways i figure it cant hurt.
go to the wrecker, get 2 sides, and install it yourself.
did it myself, and its all factory looking, even wired up to the proper breaker, factory switches and everything

been looking at wreckers for about a year now and cant find anything
Go with the Spal kit. Great quality.
I have been looking into this and now I have an answer on what setup I want.
Spal FTW!
Not to thread jack, but is there a spal kit for a sedan that doesnt include the switches?
I want to use stock switches and not the ones it comes with.
stock is easy to find and easy just time consuming to install

OK I have power windows but can any one help me on the rivets I need???? I want to replace my window "regulators" and motors but I cant seem to find the rivets that I need ( well I just dont know what to get)....
they are called split rivets and they require a special rivet gun called the "big daddy". you do NOT need to use them altho it is reccomended. the rivet gun is like 100 bucks. where as you can just use some bolts with nylon lock nuts and do the same thing
well I just looked them up do you happen to know what size ???
go with bolts and nyloc nuts, it will save you more time and money.
what size bolts ???? 1/4 x 1/2" ??? or smaller
