Converting Windows to power windows.

[RedWingsDet]

Im really considering buying a truck with a manual windows this coming week... My brother can do the installation (he used to do it for a living). But im wondering what is a good brand to get. I see kits out their for only like $145 for both windows, but im wondering if they are good enough, or are all of them the same? If youve done this, have you had any problems with it? Thanks guys

Don't be a sissy. I went from a 03 chevy that was pretty much loaded to a 05 dodge with nothing in it. Rolling down the windows is really not that hard at all. Be a man.

my dakota had manual's... it wasnt that bad, but for only $145, power windows sure are appealing. Its nice when a customer walks up to the car you dont have to lean over and roll down the window.

Hey, a little sideways on this topic..

For everybody that has an extended or crew cab pickup.. what is your view on a power sliding rear window?

I would love that kind of a set-up. Do they make one? Let us know.

Not trying to be a smart***, but shouldn't your brother have an idea of the price and the quality of the kits?

Well yeah they make them. I've had one put in mine quite some time back. The truck came with a sliding rear window, but I never could seem to reach all the way back and open it while driving, or reach back and close it if it started raining suddenly, so, the power sliding rear window seemed like the way to go. I mean, it'd be a waste of money in a regular cab vehicle, and I think the vehicle manufacturers are just chicken **** not to offer it as a low cost standard equipment on any truck that is not a regular cab.
