Answer 1

First find out if any of these cars,came with this option.Going to a junk yard an pulling the parts yourself is the cheapest.If you go this route it will be obvious how to install on your car.as all doors would be manufactured to except either option.If you buy them from the dealership it will be very expensive.I buy and repair a lot of cars.rarely do inside parts not work unless they were smashed in a accident.You will need to pull the inside door panels unless your doors have the slot for the power switches already.Most of the time one wiring harness is used for the intire run of a certain model.Its cheaper to make one part that can be used in several aplications.so if your car had that option.chances are all the plugs for the power are already on your car.You my have to search for them.But chance are they are there in the fire wall some where, Also pull all parts that connect the electric motor to the window,and the switches for the locks.I would pull the panel off of your car and make a close inspection.so when you get to the yard you will leave with everything you need for the swap,.And I mean everything,nut bolts plastic clips cause if your not careful pulling the door panel off you will break a clip or lose a s***w..If you go this route it will probly take you about three hours on your first door.And about an hour on the second.believe me you will learn on the first door.

  Now if you don.t want to go this route there are a lot of after market companies that offer these kits.JC whittney,for example.But you may have to manufacture parts to make the kit fit your application.

    Don,t let any of this stop you its all actually easy work to do, its just time consuming.And in the middle of it all you may stop and scratch your head and say why.but the end results are always worth the work. Also if you look for help on the web good luck.no one unless they are and a repeat are a mechanic give you any reliable info.But you may find the parts cheaper.
