Title: Message

The mechanism hid completely behind the door panel, nothing stuck out or bulged.  I never had any mechanical or electrical problems with them at all in the 3 years I had them in before I sold the car.  I also opted for the AutoLoc express up/down for the fronts…loved that.  To me, nice things about them over factory style is (1) ease of installation and (2) they can be removed at any time and your manual window crank put back on if you want to move them to another car.  Sneaky me, I didn’t put switches in the rear of the car so my grandkids couldn’t ‘play’ with the windows :*)

Dale,

 I have been wanting to ask you about your power windows from Spal. Does the rotary part that the handle used to fit on still stick out of the door panel? If so, what did you do to cover it up? Overall, how did you like them?

Thanks,

Fred

OEM type may be difficult to find.  I just checked with http://www.a1electric.com and they have kits for the 68-69 2-dr post but not the coupe. For 68 and 69 hardtop they state, “Bolt in window kit is not available for this application.  The GM90-K and GM93-K will not work correctly in this car!”

 

Maybe someone else makes them but another alternative is to use a universal kit like those from Spal or http://www.autoloc.com/search.lasso?partno=pw44 .  They don’t replace the entire assembly but rather have a drive that slips over the factory handle stub and it’s motorized.  I used a complete set of four on my 67 and really liked them.  Easy to install and didn’t have to take apart the entire door or rear quarters to make ‘em work.

 

Here’s a photo of a unit on my front door and the rear windows were essentially the same setup.
