    I'm interested in the same question for the door windows on a 52 Special 2 door tourback sedan deluxe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the passenger windows are fixed and don't roll down...

    Power Top- Windows

    Kits for windows here, http://www.nu-relics.com/bpoc.html I don't believe conversion to electric for the top is fesible, but there are many companies to supply power top (hydraulic) parts

    There are units available that replace hydraulic cylinders with electic screw lifts. They come in many sizes from many companies. The question is, are any available with 6 or 12 volt dc motors. I don't know, but one company to contact is Motion Industries, a supplier of almost anything used in the building and/or maintenance of factory machinery. They have outlets in all major cities and most minor ones. They're also on the internet. I've used them for stuff as minor as distributor bushings. Measure the cylinders you want to replace and give them a call.
