(ELECTRICAL) Slow Power Windows? Need to read this!
Well, like many 1st gen owners my power windows where getting ultra slow, if working at all. I've had a project on the back of my mind for awhile and I thought it was time to do it. So I pulled up an old article I had archived.

This project took 30 minutes yesterday doing the pre wiring on the relays, relay sockets and writing out my wiring. And 40 minutes today pulling the seats and soldering all my connections. You can't even say it was night and day with this. It has to be 10 times faster then before. I've done it all too, new channel runners, adjusted the tracks, silicone the track and runners. And for a total of $2 per relay and $1.50 for each relay socket, its the best $15 and hour of time you could spend.

Freak, that would be nice. The only problem is getting the male and female connectors from junk cars. It would be an easy project to do and only take 30minutes for each set. All you would have to do is ground it!
