how to keep poer windows with aluminum/ carbon fiber door panels I was wondering what people have been doing to keep power windows without the stock door panels. I have been running with no door panels, but plan on running aluminum or carbon door panels. I want to keep power windows and want to know how you relocated them or if you were able to re-mount them in the new door panels.

I have my DMH door panels now here, and will be doing a write up in teh next week or 2 once I get done installing them. You will have to rewire the switches, not a huge deal. I'm gonna figure out where 12 volts has to be applied, and get that portion of it done as well for the write up.
I can tell you this, the DMH panels, are LIGHT, like a lb a piece LOL. It's probably a good 20 lbs off the car

Easy. Get a wiring diagram for the power windows. It's easier to walk you through it in person. How exactly are you wanting to do it? For example, I eliminated the passenger side altogether and moved the driver side to the center console cup holder.

read thru this thread...

supposedly one needs to retain the power window control module to make them work...but I was able to make the windows work with 12V direct (wires connected to battery in one way and the window went up, reverse the polarity and the window went down)
I posted a schematic in that thread stating what should work...

Good info guys. I kept the power window control module and rewired mine to an older set of GM window switches. I'm sure there are a bunch of ways to accomplish this though
