LUVMYBRAT Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 anyone tried this,or was one ever produced?I've got access to some power window regulators from a 4-door, 84 I believe ,and was curious if the transition would be possible,I also can get switches and what not to complete.I'm not worried about wiring ,more just the reg into the cenario.

PHATBRAT Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I am no expert but I THINK they may have made a BRAT with power windows. Probably the turbo automatic models. They were top of the line. Ask McBrat, if anyone would know it would be him. Other than that, I do believe I remember someone adding the necessary hardware and making the conversion. From what I understand it was fairly easy to do. (This was a few yrs back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 both turbo brat's I've had, did not have power windows. you can add power windows to a Brat. you will need the following from a 2 door coupe with power windows: motor/regulator/switches wiring from the doors wiring/switches from the center console wiring/relays from under the drivers seat and the upper door panel that has the hole for the switch, and no hole for the crank I have the complete set-up, but the door panels are the cloth GL-10 door panels. I would sell for what I paid. $125 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUVMYBRAT Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 I'm not worried about wiring ,do you think 4-door regs would be usable or are you going need 2-door ones only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 you need the regs from a 2 door coupe. the 4 dr ones wont work properly because they are smaller. *NOTE: I haven't done the swap, this is information from a past conversion by Richierich some years ago..... I hope my memory is correct..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelinmrs Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 That sounds like it be nice to have power windows. Guess Id rather keep it simple. Sorry I wasnt any help but Thanks you need the regs from a 2 door coupe. the 4 dr ones wont work properly because they are smaller. *NOTE: I haven't done the swap, this is information from a past conversion by Richierich some years ago.....

wesley willis Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 i know of a man who used the doors from a gl 10 as well as the console switches for his brat. too bad the windows are the only thing that work on that peice of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Smith Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have never seen a hatch or brat with power windows, however, you can make it work. The regulators are almost identical, one arm is just longer on the hatch/brat doors. If you lay the regulators out side by side(two door- four door) it is very apparent what you need to cut and weld. You can wire the remaining two window switches on the center console to power door locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkepner Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I put power windows in my 86 using the power windows setup from a 84 gl 2 door, works like factory, everything plugged right into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 BRAT Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I grabed the wiring harness from a two door with sub harnesses and came away with power windows and mirrors. just make sure you get all the relays under both seats. My junk yard used to let me do all myself but the sold out of subarus and won't get me any . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
