Don't know anything about it. I did notice it only does 2 windows what about the back ones.

When I finally get to this project I will get a kit that does all my windows. There are a couple of good threads on this.

Note that both ebay and the actual vendor claims it fits only a Cutlass Tiarra. That may be the ONLY car it would fit perfectly on...

If it would fit a car perfectly, then the price is sure right. However i question its durability. Looks like they are better for some newer low value car, not a high value collector car.

My advice would be to get the factory type regs and switches and harness, a la carte.

Even the $900 all-in-one kits will give headaches (I am living through it now...)
Look at my thread "power window conversion". Avoid the parts place kit, unless it is free. That would at least make the mod labor worth it...

I agree with Rob. Approach that with caution. You never know about construction quality and fit. You may end up having to do lots of modifications and fabrication to make that kit work on your car and in the end the windows may not lift and lower well, or the motors may be noisy. There are so many variables unaccounted for. If someone had personal experience with the kit, and installed one in a car exactly like yours then.......
