Default Power Window Mod, Will it Work?

I read a write up where this guy turned his regular power passenger window into an express down window,(one touch down whatever you want to call it) by swapping out the window control module with one like the driverside. I would like to take this one step further and replace the module with one like the one in my mothers CTS, which has express down as well up. Would this be doable for a reasonable price, say $50 a window?
Thanks
James

its possible, I have my windows powered to my alarm, and they roll up from the driver side panel for both windows with one push.

Yeah you can probably do it like that, but it might wear out the window motor faster.

Just buy an aftermarket module. I have one in my car. It is the DEI 530T. This module replaces your stock one and allows you to have both windows express up and down. Most people wire it up to only control both windows from the driver's switch panel. But you can take your time to wire it so the passenger's window switch can do express up-down too. That's the way I installed mine.
