I just instralled power windows and was wondering if anyone could help me in filling in the hole where the factory roll down was, or how to repair vinyl, because the switches I got for the windows are to small so can't put them where the factory roll down was.

maybe try this full on ghetto method:
find a junk door panel of the same color and cut out two circles to fill your two window crank holes, attach them with tape or something, then fill the seam with that vinyl repair shit found at the autostore.
once again this is fully ghetto, so attempt at your own risk.

hey no prob, the only thing i could suggest, which would be damn hard is to find a set of door panels from jap or edm car and swapping them into your ride.

I have never seen the jap panels so probley real hard to find, but I figure no harm in looking into it,

the only problem with the jap panel is that the window main controls will be on the pass side.

Very excellent way to clean up that hole a nice pair of tweeters, they also make a good sound difference for your stereo set up...

What I would do is go to the hardware store and buy a plastic plug for it. I know they sell ones of varying size, and if you get the right size, should just snap right in...
Hey, streetdreams, could you possibly do a write-up for the power-window swap? I'm fucking DYEING to do this mod ASAP, and would love to have the info.

yo bro I used 94 integra power windows
what I did was take my factory window mount and chopped off the factory crank then I mad new brackets for the power window motor and welded it to the factory window mount nworked perfect, the only problem was the motor was to big so I had to refabricate my door,
