Electric Windows

[Kataplun]

hey guys greetings from the always hot dominican republic, i was wondering if any of you have electric windows in your bugs, or know of any good kits to buy from, im thinking of the conversion but dont know what will or will not fit in my 72 SB

Kataplun,

Watson Street works makes a kit that they sell online for the VW Beetle.

Here is the link: http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/vw.html

Price is $275.00 US. I haven't used the kit, but they seem to have a good reputation with people I've talked to who have bought things from them.

I plan on buying the wiring kit from them shortly for my Ghia...

Shipping may be a bit of a deterrent though...

Cheers,


Doug

thanks Doug, thoes are nice, but kinda expensive for my low buget, ill see if i can get some from a mexican beetle, thoes are really popular here in my country

Spal also makes a universal kit that will fit a beetle. AutoLoc in the US has a kit that may fit, though I've never seen it used. Watson's carries good stuff though their pricing is a little high sometimes. Something to be careful when installing is that you don't want any extra weight in the rear of your doors since it has a tendancy to pull the bottom down making the door hard to close.
Cheers,

also if you have one piece windows the extra weight leaning to the front tends to give the motors a bit of trouble.
