power window conversion

[dave96camaro]

i was wanting to convert my 96 camaro over to power windows, is there a kit that comes with everything i need. summitracing has a kit but it doesent's come with switches or any wiring, it's just the regulator. or do i need to just search junkyards for what i need, if so what will i need to do a complete conversion.

Re: power window conversion

I honestly wouldnt buy an aftermarket kit..
A friend of mine installs them , and he orders good kits, but they are nothing like the factory power windows.
They need alot of attention, need to keep them oiled or they get really slow, and sometimes squeal alot.
I cant say they all do this but you might be better off getting the motors and wire harness from a junk yard.

Re: power window conversion

Dont know if you have the power locks or mirrors but if your going from bone stock (like me) your gonna need the switches w/plate(bout $40) harness (20-75$) motor(go autostore they have a lifetime warranty and are cheap) and actuators(junkyard). Now depending on what year you have there is a different harness floating out there. I have a 2000 bird and Im gonna be looking for a 99+ harness. I've been researching this topic and will be doing the conversion REAL soon I hear its a PITA!! but well worth it. Let me know if you have anymore questions..... Oh yeah and I'll take pics as Im going so we can have a sticky on this subject.
