Re: Replace power windows with power windows
you dont need a kit..you just need new window motors..unless you are using underpulleys,you should replace both window motors..there is a thread here how to do it..I have done it and now my windows go up n down at same speed,and not slow....

I recently replaced the Driver's side glass so while I was at it I pulled all the tracks and regreased and re-aligned them. They now seem to work like new, faster and quieter. However, I don't know if I want to tackle the Passenger side unless I have to!

It's not the motors that are the problem, it's the wiring. You need to add relays in the system to help it run better.
Here's a diagram, it's for 2nd Gens but it should be similar for 3rd Gens. I haven't done it but I've read only good things about this :

I think there is no relay on 3rd Gens and it wired straight to the fuse box so it should make the mod even simpler.
