Hey all,
I just recieved my power window kit today and figured that I would post pics of my install/trial so you all could make up your mind if you wanted to get the inexpensive universal kits from ebay. If this install and action is successful I will have one kit available for sale with everything you need, but lets see how it works first. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (I am not at my home computer so I can not post the pics yet...I will post one of the install tonight when I get home) |

For smooth you will have to recover your door panels to hide the hole where the gear pushed through for the handle. No kit will make it absoleutly smooth with out extra work. If you recover your panels then all you have to do is not fill in the hole in the back part, shim the gear mechanism and you will be golden. Markydoo's looks like this. I have my switches in the center console. I like it that way, but I do have switch pods for anyone wanting to mount the switches in the door.
If you notice the door metal you will see it has its own protrusions. The installed kit does not exceed the doors natural set up by more thatn a couple of 1/32". I get it, you need pics (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
