Aftermarket power windows, '82 Coupe

[Gary Meier]

Tom -- 
I had a 1980 5000s , type 43?, that had power windows that used a gear
quadrant just like a manual window. It looked like they mounted to the door
very much like the manual crank in my 76 Rabbit. You might look for a pair
of these in the bone yard and see if they are similar.
