Putting in power windows!! HELL YA! Any tips?
Hey all, Im getting ready to put in power windows this weekend and I was wondering if anyone who has done it before has any hints, tips, and tricks to help this go as smoothly as possible. I am trading straight up for my manual stuff, so is there anything that breaks easily (besides the window) that I need to be carefull w/ so I dont have to buy new stuff? Also, where do I run my wires to and how do I get them thru the door...I have power locks, but I didnt see any wires for them. Thanx for any help!

What are the gloves and long sleeve shirt for? And I printed off the tech article...all 17 pages...I just wanted to know if there were any tips that anyone could give that weren't in the tech article...and please dont tell me to search cuz all I come up with is do a search in every I find from a search.
