I have a love-hate relationship with electric windows - I love the convenience and the ability to open any window I want from the drivers seat. I hate the fact on some cars the windows don't work with the ignition switched off. I love the speed with which the windows open and close when having to use access cards etc when its raining. I hate the fact that if your electric windows break you're totally screwed until you repair them. I don't think a manual window winder has ever malfunctioned in the 4.5 billion year history of the planet.

@kevinobyrne8020 8 лет назад

Happened to the fiesta of somebody I know. Window winder messed up

@lexcoupe3420 8 лет назад

Well, I know two e36's that have a malfunctioning manual window winder, it just keeps falling off the rail and you cant wind it up without lifting the window by hand (going to get it fixed soon)

@peterrawlins1190 8 лет назад

+Simon Coles I break manual handles all the time because I'm too damn tall and I have to wind them in some bunk way that snaps them in half. At least if they are cheap plastic. I honestly carry spares when I have a car that has them, you are not wrong by the way I'm a special case.

@danssmith387 8 лет назад

I agree with you and another thing is for some reason if you drive into a lake or a river u have to smash out the window but if u have the old school wind up windows u can simply stay calm and roll the window down if you can't open the door with the water pressure anyways I'm going to be doing this mod to my truck soon because I don't plan on driving my lifted beautiful pickup truck into water any time soon haha

@lancer1993 9 лет назад

I was lucky upgrading my old Lancer, got the parts of another car that came with power windows and got matching door cards and switches so it looks like the car always had power windows. Even got them wired so they work with ACC on. Also got some power mirrors off the same car and chucked them on, makes life a lot easier!

@lalannesurfboardcouture1840 5 лет назад

I had a friend install mine 10 years ago. I was just in Hilo Hawaii the wettest place on earth when the belt on my old after market PW finally broke after too many bumps off roading. I removed the door panel in a car park....got the window to stay up manually .It was pouring rain......Thankfully I have been paying attention to how things work.I'm ordering this set tomorrow. Shouldn't be hard since I already have PW installed.Just swap it all out.The new ones look way more solid .Thanks guys !!!!

@mickeyb584 4 года назад

The viper alarm will do it

@Immashift 5 лет назад

I know this is old, but as an aside: I have an old ranger with what used to be manual windows. I put this in, but I also wanted my alarm (Viper 2way remote) to be able to close windows when locking the car or by a button on the remote. So I wired this right onto the battery, then relayed it so that it only gets power either when the ignition is on at least in accessory, or when I lock the car or press an aux button on the remote, it fires a relay that runs the motor up or down for five seconds which is more than enough time to open or close the windows. Also diodes in between to stop the relays backfeeding and doing weird stuff. I'm keeping that truck as my utility vehicle until it falls apart, so I've been loading it with TONS of convenience features. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, power seats, etc. It's proving lots of fun installing all the toys.

@1ynch.j 10 лет назад

At 8:30, a lot of cars are like that. The power widows are connected to the battery which makes it easy for people to use a wire hanger and push the button, giving them access to your car. I've had experience with this when people locked their keys in the car. Some cars, just push the button. This is also true for the unlock buttons.

@billybassman21 8 лет назад

You should have installed a window rollup module for when you install an alarm. My dad growing up always bought the cheapest car on the lot with power nothing. I made sure that my second car and there after had power windows, door locks, steering and so on just because I never had it growing up and it seemed like everyone else did.

Best thing to do it remove all the old grease from the passenger window mechanism and re lubricate it. The passenger window being used less will usually run slower without new grease.

@SergSpace 5 лет назад

Do not use silicon spray as they intended in this video. I did and I regretted this thing to hell. This silicon so called lubricant will dry out and create so much friction, that window would barely move. It creates unnecessarily load on motor and my motor eventually died in a year or so. I had to use WD Penrtrator Oil to clean up that dried silicon "lubricant". Other than that, this video helped me to convert window to power one very easy. Thanks a ton!

@TPSkinny 11 лет назад

Another quick tip for removing your winders is instead of fishing around with a tool you can use a towel or rag and gently rock back and forth, it'll push the pin out no problem. Just be careful not to bend the thing.

@nyc1655 4 года назад

Does the motor have a automatic stop when the the window is completely rolled down or up to keep it from burning out?

@vwssit 11 лет назад

quick trick, slide a rag around the window handle, and run the rag around the pivot, by holding both corners of the rag, and it will catch the clip, and unhook it off the handle, that way u wont risk scratching the door panel :)

@DanielsGameVault 7 лет назад

If the car has the option to have power windows already installed at the factory, I imagine the ideal way to do this would be to buy the original factory mechanisms and they SHOULD just bolt on (the door itself may be different depending on whether or not it has a power window though)...it might even be cheaper getting them second hand. That's what I did when I electrified the rear windows on mine :D

@Staffii1 10 лет назад

I totally forgot this existed until 2 weeks ago, so I ordered a set, now my missus' 68 volkswagen beetle has power windows and central locking. The original window winder is used as the switch ;) looks completely stock :D

@PommyDownUnder98 9 лет назад

How did you use the winder as a switch?

@Staffii1 9 лет назад

I used a dremmel to make a slot n the back side of the winder and used a toggle switch, winder down window down, winder up, window up.

@PommyDownUnder98 9 лет назад

Did it have a limiter so you could only push/wind it so far or something?

@Staffii1 9 лет назад

If you're asking about the system itself, the electric window kit automatically stops winding once it hits a certain resistance. If you're asking about the switch, because the winder actually technically pivots off of the switch toggle, it will only go as far as the switch toggle. Believe it or not, it's actually really easy, but it does take time and thought.

@Staffii1 9 лет назад

You won't break a toggle switch by putting pressure on it, they're actually unbelievably hard to break. I ordered 3 on purpose to see how breakable they were, and I still now have the third switch that I wasn't able to break, got them off ebay, just cheap ones.

@louisli315 11 лет назад

You are aware that you can use a flat head screwdriver and push down on the same clip and it pushes the locking portion out of the way and you can pull the window winder lever off.

@willsnyder2190 11 лет назад

@eileenharder2473 7 лет назад

I went for the second time to see a used car for sale because I was keen on buying this one. However, the wind up manual windows were converted to power. They worked three days ago, all of them. Then tonight, none of them were working, so they tried the fuses, that worked for three of the windows but one of the windows, there is apparently a short in the wiring as pushing the button on the main control on the drivers side door, blew the fuse for the passenger window. So now I am not going to buy the car thinking that this may be a perpetual problem in the future. I would have been really happy if they just left well enough alone, I'd be happy with manual windows. They said they would fix it. But now i am not sure.

Electric is great for the non-driver side but keep manual or manual+electric for the time you go into a canal/pond, more common than you might imagine. All electrics die under water.

@davidrobert2007 10 лет назад

I used to have this shitty car with front electric windows, the passenger side stopped working so I converted it to a manual wind up window regulator. It also had a fist size hole in the wing that I covered with layers of brown tape and then painted the tape to match the car body. One of the best I have had.
