I was wondering, would the power windows regulator out of a 88-91 lx/ex 4-door fit in my hatch? Would they bolt up?

 

I hate to say this, but do a little searching. I seem to recall a post where it was done with minor modifications to mount.

I'd also recommend just going by a junk yard and buy the complete doors if you can get them for a reasonable price. That way you also get the control module (used on USDM cars) and the power door locks. Then just give it a go.

The reason I'm recommending it is that I picked up a set of JDM doors for the power window stuff and it was cost was rather stiff. The one part that has made it worth it is the lower section of the door panel that doesn't have the hole for the window crank. (I'm going to use the top USDM section of the door panel and then the bottom JDM section)

it might be shorter in length... cuz if i remember right i was looking at one 6 months ago... and was thinking about the same thing... but i said to myself... i will be a lot of work.. so i just decided to go with the jdm crx SiR power window...

 

Just a quck FYI...I have a full JDM power windows setup for sale. PM me if your interested.

 

PM'd, cost???

there is a write up on how to do this. it was somewhere in teh FAQ thread, whats really cool is those sedan power windows are easier to find then something from over seas, the only problem is he had to make his own switchs that he put by the ebrake, but it seems like he did a good job with it.

 

w00t found it.

both front doors complete for 4 bills. thats not bad at all.

 

yeah you can do it, i have. I have also done like 3 writeups on how including wiring the switch.

ahh what searching can do...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">DJ0820 and I put in the ghetto window kit. We used 4D motors and put the CRX tracks on them. They bolt right in. For wiring we just hooked up some switches from the junkyard, although you could use any DPDT momentary center-off switch. To cover the holes, derek put tweeters in them.</TD></TR></TABLE>

to wire the switch:

from the back a DPDT switch looks like:

1-2
3-4
5-6

hook one motor wire to pin 1 and 6, hook the other to pin 2 and 5. Hook power to pin 3 and ground to pin 4. If the window moves oposite the switch, flip pins 3 & 4. Done. http://www.digikey.com sells DPDT momentary center off rocker switches that wll look the part and work perfectly.

Yep did mine like 2 months ago using the 4dr power window regulators and scissor racks. all I changed was the bar that bolts to the window and the one that bolts to the actual door. Best mod ever

 

Doublethink;

I did buy the doors from Password and I can't remember what I paid for them, but four bills sounds high. I seem to recall they were less. They were good to do business with and I went by their shop to pick up the doors.

However the big issue in my mind is just how much of the door assembly you can really use and what could you get for a lot less elsewhere.

You could pick up 4 door power window units for about 25 bucks each and if you have to modify them, it's worth it for the money.

As I said in my prior post, I'm going to use the JDM lower section of the door panels so that I don't have a window crank hole.

You can't realistically use the JDM switches and it's not just a matter of swapping them side for side. The holes in the door panels are a different length and you would have a gap on the right hand side.

Using the USDM upper section of the door panel isn't an issue due to the fact that I'm going to use SPAL switches.

I'll do a write up (with photos) on my web site once it's done.

took me a whlie to get find my set, but i have OEM USDM power window kit, only draw back i have to say is that the window doesnt' completely go down. it stays up about an inch, but im' not complaining for the luxury that i have. and plus i have both switches on the left side :D.
and paid 150cnd :D

 

Wes,

yea when you put it that way, you CAN do it for cheaper, but when your doors are in sad shape like mine:

leaking
dented metal
dings in moldings


just getting newer doors and glass would be nice.
