    Electric windows question

    For anyone that has installed the electric window option in their doors, is the wiring that comes with them long enough to reach the dash area? Does it have conduit around the wiring? There is no picture in the online parts catalog, in fact it says that the option is not currently available. I was able to order it and the hardtop when I ordered the Stage 2 kit however. Thanks for any input!

    Received power windows with my truck build and found they are these: https://www.ballsrodandkustom.com/in...ct_detail&p=45. Obviously I don't know for certain, but suspect the same setup is used in the hot rod. Seems so from a couple videos I've seen. If so, maybe some info there that might be useful. They link to instructions on their website as well. Mine came with long wires. But I installed wires on the body side that were long enough to reach into the doors which is where I made the connections. I put sleeving around the wires on the body side. I drilled a hole in the body that was tight enough to hold the sleeving. Then a hole in the door (directly aligned) that was large so the sleeved wires could slide in and out as the door was opened and closed. Not very fancy but it works. There are much nicer ways to do this (just one example https://watsons-streetworks.com/prod...or-wire-looms/) but I kept it simple and it works.

    Yes, that’s the same electric power window parts that came with my Gen 1 in 2018.
    I used the contacts in the body and door for the power to the window motors and for the door poppers.
    When/if you do the same the window isn’t operational when the door is open.
    The wire won’t reach the dash and there isn’t any conduit provided.
