Hey Mark. I ditched the P/W and installed manual regulators. No more worries! Just a thought for ya.

I'd like to know myself but I just got the new switches in. I haven't done it yet but it doesn't seem that bad. (famous last words )

Just remove your power regulator and install a manual regulator. All your tracks are interchangable. Put a hole in the Wolfe door panel for the window crank. It's that simple.

my brother came by today and he wired up the new switches on the drivers side but is having problems with the passenger side. Right now I can control driver and passenger windows from the drivers door but not from the passengers door. we're gonna work it out, it's a good start.
I'm glad he came by, I would've NEVER got anything to work

Since we only got the drivers side to work I'm thinking screw it, I'll just extend the wires and mount those switches on the dash where my hvac was that way both driver and passenger would have access to the switches.

Take pic's when it's all done, I'm curious what it will look like.

I thought about the manual window path, get a set of door skins from a firebird/V6 car that had crank ups, the whole thing.... but not sure if there's any weight savings that are worth it.

The alum door skin I'm sure would be alot lighter... I'm just curious what that 's gonna look like, how it attaches, what the door handle looks like, etc.etc.etc.

switches don't fit in the hvac area.
No big deal, it'll get worked out.
