My business is for sale:
I have not found anyone to take over my business. So:
So my plan now is to eventually take my business (mainly just my existing inventory) to Denver. But: I also am not making parts anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items as they run out. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will continue to sell out my existing stock I have on hand and as I run out of things they become discontinued.
So my advice is buy it now because it may not be available in the future.

Make your electric windows work better!
(Order 2 to do both windows)
What are they?
These Electric Window Helper Modules work in conjunction with your power window switches increasing the voltage/amperage that is supplied to the electric window motors.
How do they work?
When you push one of your electric window switch(es) all the power from the car battery goes thru the electric window switch and then on to the electric window motor(s). Any degradation of the contacts in the electric window switch(es) results in the electric window motors receiving less than 100% of the battery power. As the electric window switches in your Fiero age they wear and lose their ability to pass power on to the electric window motors. Once these Electric Window Helper Modules are installed, all the power sent to the electric window motor is now sent thru these units. Your electric window switches now control the window accelerator units. Even the most worn and degraded electric window switches will still work and control these units.
Why is this better?
These Electric Window Helper Modules have heavy duty contacts, each rated at 30 amps. The average draw on an electric window motor is less than 10 amps. They are also protected by Metal Oxide Varistors. What do these MOVs do? They protect the contacts from degrading over time. You can demonstrate this by plugging a high amperage appliance such as an electric space heater into a wall outlet and (while it is working) pull the plug from the outlet. You will notice a spark. This spark is what degrades your electric window switches over time which reduces their effectiveness. The MOVs absorb this energy and greatly reduce or eliminate this spark. Our Electric Window Helper Modules will keep working like new and provide 100% of the electrical power to the electric window motor(s).
I have already installed new window switches. Will these help me?
Field tests have shown that even those that have installed new electric window switches still show a significant increase in electric window speed after these units have been installed.
REVIEW: Rodney, I received and installed the "Electric Window Helpers" (2). A piece of cake to install. Timed the windows (stop watch), before and after installation. Before Installation, windows up/down took 6.2 to 8.5 seconds; After installation, windows took 3.5 seconds or less, up or down. A fine addition.
Thanks again,

NOTE: Many things contribute to slow electric windows. All the electrical connections (starting at the battery) degrade over time, corrode etc. If the dew wipes are hard that can make them go slower. WIring connections degrade over time. Switches get dirty. The tracks get full of dirt and the grease turns into putty. Another problem is aftermarket window electric motors are low quality. One can take everything apart and clean and relube everything.

Each Electric Window Helper Module modifies one electric window.
Two (2) units are required.
Electrical/electronic parts are not returnable.
SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping in the USA via Priority Mail Mail is $11.50.
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
Shipping to areas outside of the USA: Generally I ship postal air first class mail. Shipping varies depending on what country they are going to. It ranges from $17.00 to Canada to $24 or more to Australia etc.
