Well here is the review of the Window Racer.......

As I said in the other post

It is bulky 3"x3"x3" with no way to mount it.



I had to replace the ground strap crimp on ring terminal because the terminal is way to small to mount to a good ground with what is available under the dash.

When doing that I noticed that the manufacture uses non copper wire, not even copper coated.



Next is the breaker. As you can see the one in the car has the same size blades the Window Racer does not.

I am not sure if the breaker in my car is original but it fits in the fuse panel without issue

When you go to install it in the Window Racer it sits in lopsided due to the blades being equal length.

I will have to go to the parts store and pick up one that fits correctly into the Window Racer.



And finally here is a video.

I put tape on the window so it is easy to see it in action.

First run is without, second is the unit installed.

Keep an eye out for the crazy stray cat!!!!

So would you say all in all it is worth it? It is definitely faster but to be honest it looks a little slower than mine.

I am a more than a little annoyed that they cheaped out with the wire.

For the money they charge it should have gold plated wire.

Also need to find the correct breaker so if anyone is hitting a junk yard anytime soon pull one out for me!!!

As for the speed, for a half dead battery I am happy with it.

I have the battery on the charger now to see if there will be a difference in the morning.

Its cheaper than the window turbo plus it was on sale.

At today's price , think I'd spend the $175.00 for the Turbo one.
When I bought mine I contacted Howard Hoyt the inventor of Window Turbo and a member on here under "hhoyt" and asked if he was giving discounts to forum members and after I paid for it he refunded my Paypal account I think $20 or $25 and after installing it I ordered another one for my Monte and he did the same thing. So it wouldn't hurt to ask.
If you decide to order one keep in mind that he makes them in batches so he might not have one in stock so it could be a couple weeks before you get one.

Yes if you contact him he will lower the price.

But why do I need to contact him to have the price lowered??

Seems like he is taking advantage of some people

I had no problem paying full price but if he is going to give me some money back just because I am on this forum then I will gladly accept it.
