Save the money and get heads+cam with it or something.... biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig hassle.

yea, that is a really big hassle, you will need to route power into your doors, you will need to get the power window motors, you will have to take your door panels off, take all the manual window stuff out. set all the power window crap up inside the door... and im prob missing some stuff...

Is it really that big of a hassle??? Damn I was gonna through power locks and windows with a keyfob in my maro. Maybe since mine is so old it won't be that bad???

I think Jeg's sells the kits, like $400 for power windows and locks, including the hardware, parts, switches, etc

lol, even with the kit you still gotta remove the old shit, put the new shit in and run power to the doors... (might not be hard but with a lil bit of time you will have something you can be proud of..)

acctually you might not have to run power to the door, there might be power for the door lamps (if your car has them) you can just tap into that...

hell i have a guy here in tampa who will do it for under 400 bucks. he just hooked up my remote start and remote windows for 250. it was going to cost me 500 from where i got the alarm from and that was discounted too. so if your near me i could give u the info. his good and hes no back yard guy, his shop had cars in it that made mines look like crap...top end rides so u know his work is nice.

I was under the impression that you need to splice into the wiring harness if not replace the wiring harness, that would be the hardest part (pulling the panel takes about 5 minutes, if you include popping off the cover where the window switches would be, taking off the window handle, and taking the screws out)

lol, im not saying its hard.. im just letting you know its not as simple and ordering a kit and putting the new power window motor in...anyone can put a motor in a door but its not power untill it acctually has what its name says... power...

Viper_Storm · #14 07-21-2005, 10:37 PM

lol, im not sure if the acctual jack thing that makes the window go up or down has to be changed but if it does then you gotta sit there and adjust your window.... no point in even having windows if you goon have a gap that lets water in...

Actually power windows are pretty easy to put on, ofcourse it isnt buy a kit, bolt up and go but alot of stuff isnt. I actually want manual windows, but im not going to take off my power windows.
