1985 GSL Power Window Upgrades? and stereo head unit..

I just bought and brought home a really nice "85 GSL last night.

Now I'm finding of course the usuall littel things to start fixing.

The power windows work, but are very slow. The drivers door window is out of allignment and won't close completely.

Does anyone make an aftermarket upgrade for the regulators and switches?

Also, are there any cool stereo head units that you guys have had installed in the dash that fit exceptionally well? Looking for maybe a touch screen lcd with nav as well.

Thanks,

Kent

Cleaning and overhauling the regulators and switches will help. The switches come apart and you can clean the contacts. The best upgrade (other than switching to manual windows) is get relays for the switches and re-wire them so the full current does not flow through the switches.
