    Power Windows

    It's me again.

    I searched the threads before asking. You all have been key to my rebuild of GTM #34. Be it great advice, dimensions, ideas, or even parts.

    So, to my question.

    I absolutely hate the setup of the power windows. I prefer the FBody style of windows, for those who have been unfortunate enough to work on an FBody.

    The motors completely quit on me. I opted against the factory switches and I am using relays. It was installed with the factory switch originally, and the windows struggled to move. I tried with battery power, with the car started, and it was still super sluggish. There is not a great amp draw and I am using an optima yellow top battery.

    The install is also a bit sketchy. A few poor, rusted mig welds on the frame and the channel are holding them in place. I attached a few pictures of the current setup in the driver's door. I already cut all of that down with a metabo.

    Is there a recommended setup, or something that can be fabricated, to make this work again? If the factory setup is the best option, is there a recommended manufacturer for the window motor and regulator?

    I'm not opposed to something experimental.

    Thanks in advance.
