Lmackattack Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have driven a few superliners with electric powered pass window. If I remember correctly it was a black box mounted to the door that housed a motor and gear for the window regulater. It was ugly looking and blocked some needed space in the passenger aera. Im not shure if you can still get these motors. air would be great but Im thinking you would have to "re-invent the wheel" so to speak Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/865-air-or-eletric-windows/#findComment-4363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Hamilton Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Superdog- why would you want to use air to raise windows- and electric is so simple and always available. I'd hate to have to air up to get the window open. I added electric windows to my B67- its a piece of cake. Can use any number of kits for the prupose- all work abouut the same. You have gobs of space available. Check the streetrod guys. They have this figgered out Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/865-air-or-eletric-windows/#findComment-4408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have seen and repaired both in the shop. I have purchased an electric kit for one of my B models as everything is quite compact and I can run the wires for the motors on the back sides of the lower door hinges (out of sight). Also, they can be overridden if a motor fails by "popping off" an escrutchen plate by hand, and placing a window crank on the shaft. Quite simple and foolproof actually, and the finished look is nice. Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
