Has anyone ever swapped power windows into a non-power car? What all needs to be changed, besides the door panels?

You'd think a Limited would have power windows but nooooooo. :roll:

I would try to pull out all the mechanisms along with the wiring out of the junkyard taking pics if possible so you know how eveything goes back together. I know we have done those universal kits on some Jeep Wranglers at my work but i didn't like the switches and i don't k now if they would work on older cars. Hopefully it isn't a pain. Let us know how it works out cuz a buddy wants me to do it to his monte.
