Installing power windows on an F-body '68....

[trapin]

I took them out 6 years ago and now I am at a loss as to how to get them back in. If someone has pictures of installation or of them already installed that would be terrific. I had thought the Assembly Manual would have that information in there, but it does not. I posed this question over at Camaros.net but it has largely gone ignored. One guy told me to get the 1968 Service Manual and that's what I did but I must be crazy or something but there is nothing in there that speaks about the power windows on an F-Body. I'm in trouble here. I could really use some help from someone that has done this installation and might have some pictures of the area to help me along. Thanks.

are these original power windows?

[trapin]

Yes. And I gotta tell you....I really think I'm out-gunned on this one. I cannot for the life of me remember how these things went back in. I just wish there was an exploded view, that would help a ton.

No promises Tony but I will try to shoot you some pics of my other '67 when I get home tonight. Its a factory power window car. Hopefully I can get some decent pictures for you. Anything specific that is causing you grief?

[trapin]

Honestly...it's the list of parts I need. I know I have them but they're all in boxes and the ones I have I'm not sure if they're for the front door or the quarter window. That would be awesome, James. The more pics you can get me the better. I really appreciate that.

I put after market power windows in my car. If I can find the instruction I will let you know. They went into the stock holes so they must be similar. Randy

I found the instructions for my windows. Send me a Fax # and I will send them to you. Randy

How hard is it to install aftermarket kits. do you have to remove glass or just part of tracking system. Mine is a 67 coupe

[James OLC]

Hey Tony, I tried taking a couple of pictures for you but in all honesty hey are just about useless. I am going to look around to see if I dont have something in one of the assembly / resto books that might be of some help. Sorry bud,
James

[trapin]

Thanks for your efforts though, James. I appreciate it. Yeah if you can find anything that would be great.

Probell...that's worth looking into. I will PM you a fax number tomorrow. Thanks.

Tony, did you get the Body by Fisher manual? I think it's in there but I'm on the other end of the country and can't check my copy.

Tony,
I found this illustration in a couple of the restoration manuals. With the exception of changing the regulator from the manual one to the power one (and obviously losing the crank) I think that they should be close to right. It's the best I could do, hopefully it helps you at least a bit.

I think that might do it...I'll give it a try. Thanks.
