    Does anybody have a solution to make the rear windows electric, instead of hydraulic on a convertible ??

    The window setup is the same as my 48 Olds 98 rag top. They used a hydraulic cylinder to raaise the window, and springs to pull it down after the switch opened a pintle valve in the cylinder. I bou electric linerer acctuators and used the original window lift pieces. My windows work super with this conversion. I had to habe a machine shop make adapters to go on the accuators to fit into the lift mechanism.
