Does anyone know if there is such a kit available? No one seems to make one specific to my car so I'd like to find a kit that doesn't leave a "cover" over my existing regulator - it needs to go away.
For a 69 Impala.

What am I missing, Nu-Relics has a kit for your car.

Thanks, it's been a while since I looked and I found today that they had added a kit for my car.

Do they offer replacement harness as well? The newer style wormgear motors require an updated GM style harness-you can't use your existing stock harness with their kit-I've been building updated harness kits for local customers since Nu-Relics and Electric-Life harnesses are not very well designed....I've re-wired many tri-5's that had brand "X" window harnesses...you better call Nu-Relics to make sure what you need to have in order to run their kit. OEM motors are chassis grounded by being bolted to door shell-only one lead at a time is hot. Newer wormgear motors reverse polarity are grounded @ rest through the factory type GM switch. I build express down/up features for these as well as repro harnesses so if you need any assistance in helping you figure out what you need to do, feel free to drop me a line!

I'm starting from scratch - currently have crank windows.
Since I'm doing a billet console cover, I'm thinking about a 4 gang switch there and then 2 in the back.

Basically you'll need a harness with a GM style 4-button switch (not the oem 68-72 A-body style ones-you need 1978-up such as a GM crewcab or Suburban) and matching 1978-up style single switches for the rear. I built a custom power window harness for a 69 Camaro recently using that very same configuration in a custom console. I also incorporated auto down and up for all 4 windows as well.
Since your car doesn't currently have power windows, you'll need a dedicated main control relay (I use a 70A diode equipped version) and a 30-40A fused protection circuit for it. If I remember correctly, they use a WL42000 or equivalent window motor....so at least parts store replacements are easy to obtain.
