Those kits will bypass cetain portions of the assembly (like the part that rolls the window up and down) but the problem with mine is the portion that holds the window in position. A power window kit (or retro fitting a factory one) wouldn't fix my particular issue. >Has anyone tried this on an Omni/Horizon?
