Has anybody used or seen or heard anything about this kit?

I am going to order some weather seals and thought since i am paying for international postage, I may as well buy up everything remotely interesting.

Thanks

James

I bought one, and they just slapped a label on the box instead of opening it up and checking it out. The manufacturer sells direct for less than the MSA price, and has a web site. I will post the specifics in a bit.

While I have not installed the kit yet-the car is on a rotisserie-but, the kit is very complete(if generic). It appears to be well made, and unlike the JC Whitney kit I bought years ago, has replacement parts available. I have run the mechanisms electricaly, and they are smooth and pretty quiet-though I would expect a bit more noise with a door as a resonator.

VPA International is the manufacturer, their website is located at: http://www.auto-accessories.com/

The kit MSA sells for $220 is a #80217C, and is available direct from VPA for $159.23 plus shipping.

The instructions are detailed and drawn out-7 pages worth-if you would like me to emial them to you, just send me your email address.

PM sent, thanks!

So it is a generic kit with some fabrication/customisation required?

There isn't really any fabrication or customization, it is more of use the parts that fit(there is quite a selection of adapters), and mount the pieces up. All of the required parts come with the kit, you just have to remove the door trim panels, drill 6-8 holes in each door, screw the pieces down, run the wires, and put the panels back on, figure out where to put the switches, and enjoy your new automatic 255 Air conditioning(2 windows down, @55 mph)!

I'll scan the documentation and send it out shortly!

OK, great.

Thanks!

Email otw, the PDF attatchment is approx 2.8 mb

Just had a read of it, looks like not a bad product.

But if it is not Z specific as such, there is probably no point buying it overseas for me and adding possible warranty claim issues.

Thanks for your help though, it was really good. I can now make an informed choice.

Good oil, surely there is a generic window liftkit made down under!

Summit Racing sells the same VPA kit, 80217C, for only $145.95.

getting around to install this in my z and was wonder how you guys ran the wires. Under the door panel or inside the door. Seems you need to cut a hole to run the wire inside the door. Unless yall got those new rubber arms I've been told about

let me know the best way

thanks

I ran my through the door pin:

Drilled a hole on the door than lined up with it and put the wires in a black heater house. Looks neat.

This is how I mounted the switches:
