Default Flip Out Rear Windows

I have a 02 ZR2. I'm curious as if anyone has come up with a powered motor of some type for the rear side windows. Something where you can open and close like the door windows, you know, make them power.

Why not try retrofitting the power rear window motors out of a chevy Venture? The Junkyard may have some.

the front hinges are bolted on through the glass so you would have to get someone to do that or figure out a way to glue the things to the window.... then figure out a good way to seal them up tight... the back motor mechinizm is the easy part... its all the other stuff that makes it a pita.. if you dont get it to seal right then it will whistle like crazy...

the hinges would stay the same if its the way im thinking. If you do this be sure to get some pics as I will probably do it too someday

I'm going to look into the Venture parts and/or anything else I can find/use. The wiring part should be interesting too since the same switch will have to open and close. To simplify, I'm thing to make both work together, not individually. I'll be sure to document everything to have for here when finished.

All comments and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks!
