I have a few harnesses built that allow you to convert your existing power windows to Express Down 1-touch windows for both sides! PM if interested.....they are $79 each and mounts under the console trim plate.

Sounds like a great idea. Will they still work with a GenIV console conversion?

Yes....it will work the same so long as the switches are mounted under the console. My harness enables both windows to operate in Express Down mode.

If nobody wants the Express Down feature, standard relay power window harnesses are $59 for both doors if anybody is interested. This will allow you to gain much faster operating windows and less voltage drop-either way its a great upgrade over stock.

I took reference photos as I assembled the harness-then I tested it to make sure everything works as designed. I include all the info along with the installation instructions for the relay kit.

Re: Express Down power window conversion!
Jay-the relays I use feature high capacity contacts which can transfer a large amount of current without arcing or overheating-thus reducing voltage drop for faster window operation. The contact material is higher in molybdenum and nickel vs. cheapo $5 relays so they last virtually forever. Cheap parts store relays which most aftermarket companies seem to use are Chinese or Taiwan and use a tin alloy filler metal in the contact material-this makes them cheaper to manufacture but also makes them less tolerable to high amp loads where excessive heat can be generated. If you've ever had a relay "stick on" then you know what I'm talking about.

Not something I have $400 to spend on right now but definitely would be a really cool feature to add. Was thinking the other day how nice it would be to have it. lol

$400? It's $79 for the entire kit which does both windows. Express up AND down now $159!

HA! Sorry, misread the $199 each as per window - not sure what I was thinking.

Re: Express Down power window conversion!
Until I finish the express down harness, I just completed a prototype relay harness using the OEM window switch connectors and adding 4 relays. It too mounts inside the console below the trim plate. At least upgrading to relayower should speed them up a bit. $59 is the cost for a relay-integrated power window harness without the Express Down feature.
