I was just browsing Mezzmo's gallery and he's got a couple of pics of a universal power window kit fitted. I'm looking at doing the same for only a couple of hundred bucks. There's also an accessory switch you can get that will raise the windows when you use the central locking. $169 for the window kit and $59 for the accessory switch. Paste the link below into your browser to check them out.

George, nah i never got any photos as my phone has a mind of its own nowadays.. its very difficult to use and only has a small number of simple functions working - not including the camera unfortunately.
I can take some pics of the windows installed but that is pretty useless as the process is what was needed. I dont really recommend using the BA mechanisms to anyone else, i only used them because I already had them. The aftermarket kits I would get are the same as Dano's, the autoloc kits, good quality motors and dont rely on the bedford's manual mechanisms. plus the most important thing is that the motor in Dano's kit is at the very bottom, so the clearance issues I had will not be a problem. Half way thru I considered just getting the autoloc kit, but I was keen to just make it work regardless of the effort.
The one touch/auto rollup module I got was quite expensive if bought in australia, I ended up getting it for less than half price delivered from the US. it is a good quality unit, and was the only one that had all of the features I wanted specifically. I got it for just over $60 but retails here for $150-200
Wiring it in took some time, mainly because I'm so fussy with good soldering and heat shrink plus grouping the wires and taping everything together, but the result was worth the effort.. I had to work with a spot light until 2:30am saturday night as I'd planned to spend saturday doing it until i got asked to work..

All in all well worth the effort, but I recommend taking the easy route ;)

the easy route, getting someone else to do it. lol  ;D What are they charging for the autoloc system, and can you get them from rocket industries.

Warren, they're all easy routes.. some are just more expensive to set up than others ;)

George, DO NOT buy from rocket, unless you want to empty your bank account.. it is FAR cheaper to order direct from the US and pay shipping. Get on ebay.com, setup a paypal account and bobs your aunty. just search for autoloc, then weed out the results. you'll be looking at $200-$300 delivered or there abouts. you'll also have choice of switch designs, but that'll cost extra. If you dont want the one touch/auto roll up module I can give you a relay circuit that'll make the windows operate quickly without burning out the switches.. my module has all that built in so I cant use the relays..
