Subject:Re: power windows- was Stolen Westy Syncro in Seattle--install an alarm

Power windows are great until they stop working... that can happen to
manual windows too...
What bothered me the most in my '87 with power windows was getting
the drivers window 'just right'. The best thing in my '87 with power
windows was being able to deal with the passenger window. I'd always
said if I was going to do that I'd put the power window on just the
passenger side.

Thank you for the review of the kits.
