I am looking for a power window kit, I saw some advertised 10 or 15 years ago, I was wondering if there was anything out there today. I am guessing the solution is to modify whatever universal kit is out there. If anyone any info, please let me know. Thanks.Ed

Autoloc does make good products. Spal discontinued their PW kits in 2017, but you can check eBay.

I am a couple weeks out of working on it, if you have spal units I am interested. I really don’t care that much about power windows but I am extending my dash a bit and don’t want winder interference

There is a switch that you can get that uses the window winder to act as a switch so you do not need to add a separate cut-out for a switch:
