IM guessing with the hot weather this week and your roll cage being in the way so you cant open your windows while the door is shut - is probably doing your head in? :mrgreen:

I cant remember now but im sure someone said they were available as a dealer option?

Anyway pretty sure that a few people have done it. i think arshad's car has e30 electric mechanisms but there was some grafting.

Try the search function first Harley - this topics comes up before :wink: Anyway, I actually have an aftermarket kit. Fits on to the existing winder mechanisms.

I had the auto electrician change the standard window switches to E30 ones for a more stock look. The ones TopCat has posted up would probably do the job. I think SPAL or such are best for quality though.

I just converted, after 35 years...
SPAL me also.
Very happy, perfect job and working great, although I can't yet talk about 24 years, well I will be a ble when the car will reach 59 y.o. :-)))))))

Not possible to combine switches with one touch-full window open/close.
