    Does anyone know the average price to put in electric windows to a 97 vs?

    How longs a piece of string?

    Do u want genuine or aftermarket, new or secondhand, bcm integrated or standalone?

    If u surf eBay, u can get the secondhand gen units for 200, add the fuses and relays and ur just about done. What model is ur car exec or acclaim?

    That's why i said the average price, not something to cheap and tacky but not something thats going to burn a hole in my pocket.

    It's a 1997 VS Acclaim

    Vs acclaim, like mine should have the wiring half there. Check for contacts in fuse no 5 and contacts in the power window spot.

    If u've got em, the most expensive part is the window regs

    How deep are ur pockets? As in what's roughly ur budget?

    i did it to my old vr acclaim a few years ago, you'll need
    : regs
    : switches
    : circuit breaker (goes in fuse panel instead of fuse)
    : 2 relays next to fuse panel under dash
    : wiring from B pillar into back doors

    i paid
    4 doors with power window regs off ebay $70
    got switches with a vs calais interior i put into the vr also but one centre switch was stuffed so bought another from the wreckers $30
    "borrowed" circuit breaker from wreckers
    had relays laying around (4 and 5 pin i think)
    got rear door wiring from wreckers free

    id say if you look around you could probably get away with it for $100-$150, for example i found 2 complete doors on ebay (after id bought the other 4 a few weeks earlier and stuffed one of the back ones) for $10 each and the regs were fine,one of them is in my ss now.
    it will probably take a few hours to do and can be a pain in the arse (from what i can remember the front door windows had to come out) but its not overly hard
