How about converting to power windows? You can put the switches wherever they are easily accessible.

That is most definitely ideal. I need to find a universal power windows kit. But that still doesn't solve my window frame issue.

Pulling the dash pad is a bit of a pain. It will be a lot easier to drop the column, pull the instrument cluster and glove box. There are 5 nuts across the top and a screw at either end. IIRC, the nuts are 3/8" and the screws have a 5/16 hex. Don't quote me on it though. Good luck!

Good to note. I was wondering how I was going to get to the driver's side bolts without dropping the column. I guess I'll drop it.

Wow, that wiring is leaving a lot to be desired in my opinion. Those tap splices followed by rows of butt splices is kind of a no-no for longevity.

You should be able to buy a repop dash pad, I have one, can't remember where it came from (maybe B/E&A) but it fit well enough and looks great.

Yeah, I'm going to potentially fix some of those problems as I'm going to remove those extra gauges under the dash.

IIRC, B/E&A went out of business a long time ago. Just Dashes is local and can restore dash pads. I thought I read somewhere it cost approximately $350.

Btw, my Black Friday purchase supposedly came in the mail today.
