Default Corrected wiring issues

Has anyone corrected the wiring of the p/w p/l of these cars? For example the single common ground of the p/l and added an additional ground in the d/s door or completely split the two into separate circuits?.. My p/w are slow and I have one lock that doesnt function, I already have a new lock actuator that needs to be installed. Since I dont like messing with the doors i was thinking about replacing the window motors, installing the new lock actuator, some functional mirrors and addressing the wiring all at the same time, so before I tear the car apart I'd like to build a plan for this process. R&R actuator,test, R&R window motor if this involves removing the window then I can install the mirrors I have planned. Then address the wiring and get full voltage to the window motors.

Here you go-

Just like the headlights- add some relays instead of running the power all over the place (voltage drop) to get to the PW motors-

Bringing this back up as I may get this done if work gets shut down, any idea why it shows using two SPDT relays per window instead of a SPST?
