Universal Power Window Kits??
I have seen a few threads on this however none have come out and said that they had done it and completed it. So has anyone done a universal power window kit say from SPAL and if so how did it go, or not? It seems like a very cool way to go however there is not much room behind the door panel! I guess you need to loose the regulator shaft housing for it will no fit with the new part so: after you get rid of that it leaves the shaft housing which is a cylinder with a slice in it. I am hoping that this is what you attach the after market kit to?? I forgot to say that this is for a 74 Vette I am working on. And I am not doing this on by the book! Going to go with some changes I have in mind.
I am hoping someone has done it, dont want to get it and then have an OH Shxx experience.
thanks shopman1

Why go with a generic universal kit which may or may not work when you can get the stock parts and install factory power windows?
The assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows the factory installation and lists all the parts you will need.

First would be that it will cost about $700 or more. The universal kit is less than $200 and I am not doing this vette (74) by the book this time.

power window harness is a seperate assy. you can pick them up reasonable.($100)
besides the harness you need the switches, and the motors/Regulators.
you could make the harness if you had to its not complex.
the factory harness is already made to the correct lengths, and ga. size.
I retro fitted to power windows, bought a used harness a
then aquired the rest of the parts neeeded. easy as pie.
