A pain to reach the passenger window winder, would love to be able to roll the passenger window down from the drivers side. Damn I am getting "old" and to used to the comforts of my newer cars...

One more of those "damn, I must be getting old" things for me too, as I can still reach across but it's a reach. Which means I just leave it down or up when an adjust would make the drive nicer.
I think the kits have become pretty nice now and not that heavy? Always thought it would be cool to somehow use the 914's factory window winders as up/down switches, with a tiny switch near the driver's side to switch its control from left to right much like some mirror controls do. But it's waaaaay down my list of projects. |

My twin girls think the roll up windows are the neatest thing in my 914 and old Volvo.
That being said it would be nice to have the option to just push a button and keep the look of the old handles. |

I have them. There’s a thread by Dr Evil showing how he installed the Spal set. I have an unused Spal set for sale. Still in original box
