vettes have about a 2, may be 2.5 second open or close time. It'd be nice to have that same feature ..

If you'd like, I'll throw a brick through your window for free -- that'll open it up fast! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I'm thankful I didn't have any liquid in my mouth while reading that. My laptop would have been toast.

yeah but seriously ds has a point - the windows on my battered f-150 slide more quickly and more smoothly than the grinders on my 968!

I'm interested as well, especially the possibility of a one-touch feature.

There is a one touch feature available as a universal install. About $50 per window. As slow as these windows are, one touch would be nice to have.



I think the only way you can make these windows faster is by changing the gearing, nearly impossible the way they window lifts are made. I'd love to be proven wrong...

joe, <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> ( an no doubt there would be a flyer attached to to the brick, just coincidentally advertising your cousin's auto glass shop is having a sale <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> )





I wonder if buying the entire assembly from another car ( vette, as far as that goes ) and just switching the units would require more than a couple of brackets and a few spot welds here and there to retrofit.. Nah, I guess that would be too easy - things never work out that way <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

My German friends were all amazed at how fast the windows went up and down in my Japanese car some years back. It may be a German thing.....

yeah, but I bet our windows go up with more TORQUE behind them!
