yeah that second sentence makes you wonder, but it does say it replaces the factory regulator. Looks like they have sold 4 of them and I didn't see any negative feedback.

I used these a few times:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Metra-Install-B...75.c10#viTabs_0

They work with your original crank window regulators and are super easy to install. Just be sure to find ones that are made by spal, another member commented the off-brand ones don't have enough jam to work the windows effectively. I used the spal ones and they worked fine on every vehicle I've done them in.

I like those. My driver's side regulator is shot, passenger side is ok, so a new driver's side reg and this kit should get me power windows on both sides for @ $350. thanks

I bought and installed the metra kit from Ebay. I have to say I'm impressed. Pretty simple kit and appears to be quality parts. Made in Italy. You need to buy switches and relays which adds $30 or so.

couldn't find any switches on there website. where did you get yours? and are they on the knob that protrudes from the door panel? or a rocker switch?

I used rocker switches in a small electrical box where the console used to be. Car is race only. below are where I got the switches and relays, and a wiring diagram. The instructions and wiring diagram that comes with the kit aren't the best.

switches
relays

i was thinking about a push button start system and they include running up windows and locking car when setting the alam mode? thought that would be cool to do..

OP, that Ebay kit looks very similar to what I found in the door of my Hyundai, except this one doesn't use cables which is a good thing.
It gets rid of the hand crank machinery completely and as most of that is pretty worn out by this time, good riddance. For that reason, the setups that turn the window crank aren't very attractive to me.
The only problem I could see was mentioned above, straight vs. curved. I hope the designers of the kit figured that out. I bet they did.

I've played with a lot of window lifts working on street rods and such. Unless the ebay setup is mounted so it can move with the window, I don't see it working well with curved glass. It moves straight up and down while the curved glass is moving in and out as it goes up and down. Something has to accommodate that in and out movement.

Buy a power window kit for curved glass. Gene

I bought the second kit mentioned, not the first one with the linear actuators. All it does is turn the hand crank. Everything in the door is OEM. Very simple

Would this kit work on an A body, specifically a 1970 Duster? Looks very intriguing to me.

So I would assume that it necessitates removal of the window cracks? How is the hole in the door panels covered? Any pics?

Thanks

Come on man... the pictures posted already answer your questions. But so I don't look too much of a jerk.... violin
1) Yes the window cranks need to be removed rolleyes
2) There is a black cap that goes over the hole, you can see it in the link for the kit, posted above... rolleyes It does look a little cheesy, but it's a universal kit.
GoodBye wave
