    Nice. Yeah I've seen that kit before, its cheaper and parts are easily replaceable if something goes bad plus I can use it for multiple cars so no need for a separate kit for my pickup and wagon.

    Only problem I would have with those aftermarket kits would be the look of those aftermarket switches. Just drop by the old pick-a-part and get some factory switches instead.

    Yeah that was the plan for my Falcon to try to find something a little more in line with the interior, but they will be fine in my pickup since its a 2001.

    I wouldn't use that first power window kit. But the Red Greene one looks really good. And I just had to watch Redneck Pride while checking it out.
    There are some decent power window kits in the hot rod type magazines. I bought one while at a large car show for my old panel truck. Altho they don't self install, I found out. It's still in the box. :rofl2:
    Also while here I watched the 300th episode of the Red Greene show. Who'dda thunk this station wagon forum could be so educational. Just shows what a bunch of Canadians can do for America.:rofl2:
