Looking for info on power window kits. I thought I had seen a kit to convert your 914 crank window to power windows several years back (70s or 80s), I was thinking AA or maybe Automotion back in the Sunnyvale days not sure though. I cant seem to find any one kit just for a 914. Could be they never worked well, any one have any experience with such a kit.

Check this out.

There was a 914 specific kit; had one. The problem was the adapters that go on the crank had to be present....

I subsequently bought the universal kit by Autoloc. Summit or Jegs sells them. Autoloc has a web site too.

Read over the Dr Evil on the subject. I posted pics of my install as well

Thanks Mark just ran through the thread great help!
PS my cars paint is looking great he is in the final stage of rubbing it out,, I so glad,, Im so glad, Im glad Im glad Im glad!

Thanks Jim I just went through the whole thread and your photo. Every part of your car looks just perfect,, you should just sell it to me and save me all this, but then what would I do right!

Thanks Wes. I really like the power windows; I used to reach across the passenger seat to crack the window open. Now the power window switch is right behind the shifter and all I have to do is reach down and hit the switch. For me, it was a safety upgrade.

One thing I added to the system was the use of relays so the switches wouldn't arc-out. Because of the windows up/down movement a reversible relay is needed at each window. At the time, I made up each reversing relays from a pair of individual relays wired together; I think they sell them as individual units nowadays.

I am going to sell the copper car shortly

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????????? You sure you want to do that Jim?

Jim, well Im lost for words I was just kidding, are you sure you're not going to cry at night as you dream of your beloved copper piece, on the other hand copper has gone sky high.
If I buy her can I use the $$ I spent for your top as the down payment?

Jim just looked up the Autolock systems and see one which uses the window crank and the other, almost a $100 more, though it has its owen lift.

I have the pieces parts for electric conversion. I believe I got them from Mr Hoyland...

If you can find someone with a 3d printer to make a small piece, it could be done easily.

Jim thanks I think Im going with the Autolock system.
