actually pretty straight forward, the power window kits were a direct replacement to the manual regulators. The power door locks are about just as easy.

Holy cow, for just two windows??? Well, I guess wiring is no big deal, once you set up a relay and a fuse... And maybe rob some switches at the junkyard?

By the way, my driver's window is hard to crank... Not sure what is wrong in there... Would the power mechanism have enough power to overcome a stiff window?

I think A1Electric is the people that make the kit. I could not find this particular kit anywhere else, and the product was excellent.

How did you hide the holes in your door panels where window cranks go?

Do you think the quality on these kits are as good as OEM?
Which switch kit did you use for your application?
