Power Windows

I'm very lucky in that all four power windows work.  Each switch works and the windows move reasonably quickly.  Now you don't want to try to raise more than one at a time.  And it sure helps if the engine is running.  There is a driver's door mounted lock out switch to prevent passengers from operating their windows.  This is common on many cars.  However, on this car, there is a third position on the lock out switch as well.  You slide the switch to Emergency, hold it there, and you can operate all four windows from the driver's door without having the ignition on.


This trim panel that houses the mirror control, the window lock out switch and the window switches will have to be replaced with one that has an opening on the bottom for the power door lock switch if and when I install the vacuum door locks.  This also means I'll be running vacuum feed lines to both doors and vacuum open/close lines to each actuator.  At that time, I'll replace both of those wire/hose conduits that connect the doors to the body.

Also on the Eldorado, the rear windows slide back into the C pillar instead of down like most cars.  I think this is really cool.  But I'm a huge nerd.  Check it out:
