1st gen power window conversion

Sorry, I searched, and I couldn't find anything (beats me, I thought I had seen this on here at one point). Anyway, I have an '84 GS, and I was wondering if anybody out there had done the conversion, or knew exactly what you needed (besides the regulators, which I already have. I've heard that the wiring (or at least part of it) is already there.

Not that I ever seen, as far as wiring being there. But the windows it self are completely bolt in. Very easy... I did it to my 80 and my 85

All you need to run from the doors on each side are 2 wires.. MAke SURE you use at least 14 awg wire

I beleive from memory, its black/blue is 12V ign and solid black is ground at the switch...

And then you just mate up the red and greens to the appopriate switch wires.

Power windows are easy, its the power mirrors and wiring that took me a few minutes to understand
