Power Window Conversion
Spent some time this weekend coming up with power windows for the truck that retained the factory regulator and handle so it looked stock from the outside. Wound up using a saturn window motor and a switch and a couple levers and here is how it looks in the truck:

The factory door handle attatches to the factory window crank so rotating the handle up or down triggers the motor.
Comments welcome, still needs some perfecting.

Using the OEM cranks takes a bit of playing with it to get it to work. Its a million times easier to just use the Saturn motors and mount switches else where but i wanted the crank switches

Excellent, that is very nice. Using the original window crank is total awesome.
Not sure why you wanted power windows. My boys think rolling the window up and down is fun. I think 3-on-the-tree and changing gears is fun. Maybe it is hereditary.

There's no need for one, the motors aren't quite that strong, the OEM regulators have a mechanical stop for when you roll the window down and the saturns didn't have limit switches from what I could tell.
