Thanks Joe !

Jeff ... we were this close to going with the same, (SPAL system) but after talking to some folks that sold them they said if the windows or the cranking systems are sticky then they would be very slow and would eventually break. We took a chance and ordered up the Electric Life universal flat glass kit and somehow got it to fit. BUT, not without serious modification to the kit itself and to some of the interior door panel.

Had to cut open a section along the base of the door to house the motor and the lower portion of the track, then Fabbed up some enclosures that will get powder coated or covered ... yet to be determined

Cheers
Steve

Mine definitely do have "slow" spots. My style was not the first choice but I was told the type you have wouldn't fit, no way, no how.... goes to show stubborn car guys can win out!! I will know better next time.

Jeff ... honestly there were a few moments that I though OMG this is not going to fit !! Its soooooo tight in a few spots even a few MM off and we would have been screwed. The track had to be placed at a slight angle in that EXACT position only as well

Nice fix. I bet there's a few guys with Fj's that would love to see this. You definitely have to keep us in the loop on the blue one.

Love how the handle operates the motor! And how you overcame a "problem" with an even better than original solution... Nice work.

Ok ... Got the panels back from the interior shop today and finished one of the doors off. Very happy with the design, fit and finish that Harold came up with !!

Thanks Harold
