my vans got them atm but they are going to come out as soon as I get my hands on a set of winders as they are stuffing up and I can't be bothered having troubles with windows. I believe they are out of a statesman anyone know what I would have to change over in the doors??

Pull the motors out and change the winder mech back to a manual one. Nothing to it. Hardest bit would be getting the glass to fit in the window mech.

Gday,

So, the common failures include... ?

The motors kept going slow upwards.
Pain when you turn ignition off only to find out a window was down.
Quicker to wind down window to talk to people.Quicker to put up when it rains.

Just to name a few.
When i installed mine, i put the switches where the winder handle would come out, so i wasn't cutting extra holes.
It ended up taking me about 1/2 hr to swap from electric to manual mechanism's.
