electrical and ignition Power Windows And Wiring

[grizzlebar]

Quick question for all of you out there: 

 

I just finished reading all 9 pages of the forum post searching for power windows, and with no answer found, i turn to you guys. 

 

I'm about to install power windows in the 02 (SPAL kit for those wondering), and I'm stuck with how to run the power cables through the door, across the jamb, and into the car. What have you guys done? 

 

Also, what are the best options for mounting the new regulator? 

 

Pictures help the best if anyone has them. 

 

Thanks, 

GB

I did this last winter - the first door was a huge pain, the other took 1/4 the time.  I ran the wires from the door through the jamb and into the interior through a hole made by a former owner for door speakers.  It appears I used the same kit you are contemplating.  I placed my switches in the center console.  I did not cut my door panels for the kit covers, instead I made a simple cover for the window crank that can be easily converted back.  After I fininshed I said never again it wasn't worth the effort, then I realized I would never have to do it again.  After the first week, I also realized it was a great upgrade, I thoroughly enjoy having power windows.  being able to adjust the passenger window while shooting down the highway is great.  If you want you can PM me your email address and I will send you a pic of the units installed in my door.  the unit leave a very slight bulge in the door panel

 

hey, I am 62, posting pics is still a mystery.  driving my 46 willys jeep or my 74 tii is pure fun
