Matt,
They do come with plastic caps that either snap into the
door panel holes or snap over the regulator itself, I can't remember which.
Since I had the door panels built from scratch I would have had no use for
them and they'd probably be black in color.
As long as you tuck the motor inside the door itself, the
loop mechanism will fit behind the stock panel. If you're going to replace
the door panels anyway, I've heard that replacements come with no holes at all
just in case you have factory power windows so you can cut either
hole.
If
you look here - http://www.autoloc.com/detail.lasso?itemid=pw3900 -
you'll see some little, what appear to be, black caps for the
regulator/panel. I see they have listed again the express up/down units
again for $40. I had those on both fronts of the Chevelle and they're
nice.

Hey Dale,

Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle Power Windows
I just returned from vacation, so I just saw your post. So with this Autoloc kit, can you use the factory door panels? Would you just put a "cap" of some sort where the window crank hole is? This kit seems like an easier, non-permanent solution to add power windows! My windows mechanisms are already out, so I was thinking about changing the x-frames like your link below, but this kit seems like a good option.
Thanks,
Matt

No problem :*). Most factory power windows use a direct motor to raise/lower the x-frame like http://www.dalesplace.com/forsale/image2.jpg. This kit in my 67 hardtop is by Autoloc (Spal) and it simply slides over the existing manual mechanism. Saves a ton of time and work since the mechanism doesn't have to be removed from the door like the factory (or replacement in my link). I 'could' rework the factory handles and put them back and watch them spin around but then it'd wear out the door panel coverting AND somebody would try manually cranking them and break the unit. Another nice thing about the SPAL units is you can remove them easily, put the handle back on, and manually control the windows.

- Is this pic the reason why I never see any chevelles without their window cranks even if they have power windows?
