Giving power windows a go on my Coupe.
Tested the geometry with the existing door frames, and with the third (side impact) rail, the glass is unable to slide inside, outside or, (obviously) between the top and bottom rails, as had been done in the US.
Have started on a new door frame, with an increased distance between the horizontal rails and further to the pics attached, have moved the vertical members to the outside of the frame to increase clearance of the glass and the mechanism.
Am looking at a Suzuki Virtara window regulator, which has better packaging geometry than most hotrod flat window kits.
Interested in any thoughts or advice from someone whos conquered this mountain before me.. 
Cheers
Chris

I like your zest for modification Chris, this appeals to my sense of building one of these cars. Hopefully the power window will come into fruition.
Cheers
Wil

Hi Chris,
Having travelled through the power window road with my Daytona, albeit copying what Daytona Sports Cars have done before me, what does the power window regulator do

Theo, the regulator is just the name the auto industry gives to the geared window winding mechanism.

Hey Chris,
I pulled the door trims off my Audi A6 donor car for my Cobra project and looked at the window regulators and thought I might take a photo or two for you as they are really compact and run a nice wire push/pull set up. I am back home tomorrow so might do that if your keen to have a look at some photo's. Might be a possible option for your project?
Cheers
Wil
