To keep with the old school them I found an old school power window kit made by Norton from 1980 never installed but he did start to put a couple peaces together. I started to install it today. so far so good. This is the kind where you take off the window crank handle and attach the motor gear to crank, motor then cranks the window for you. Well let you know how it turns out.

Well I have one door with the motor in and wired up so far and everything works good
Image
Here is what it looks like so far
Image
This is how motor end attaches
Image
The motor has to go in the right side by the bottom hinge that’s where the most room is
Image
And these are the cuda switches I’m going to use instead of the cheap plastic that came with the kit
I'm also going to install a power antenna that is operated by a single Cuda switch so I can raise or lower it when ever I want and not just when the radio is on or off

Well I got a little further today and have one side all done and the power antenna wired in also all I need to do now is mount the motor in the passenger side door and hook up the 2 wires and it will all be done. The driver side works great.
Image the bottom switch is for the power antenna
