I used the kit installed without a problem and works good. Don't know what motors are used.

i've been curious about this. how easy is it to install, is there much fabrication/drilling involved? what becomes of the stock window crank handle? thanks.

I've got the kit, no problems. Good question though, kind of curious myself to see if anyone uses a factory type unit, and which one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I used mid 1980's GM units ( Olds Cutlass Ceira, Chevrolet Celebrity Pontiac Bonniville, etc.) in my BMW 2002. track is ached for a curved glass and track arrangement but they reshaped easy and their compact. I would think they would fit in our doors. They have a steel tube with a plastic track unside similar to the type we have now. The motor part sits in the front of the door.

Minimal hole drilling. A couple for the motor and track and 2 larger holes for the for the wire into the cabin. You can mount the switches in door or center counsul. Finished plastic caps over the window cranks.
