There's more to it then just going to the junkyard. You'll need the regulator/motors, the wiring harness, relays, fuses, new door panels...there maybe more, I've never done it before.

Thats sounds like a big pain in the ass........

I replaced my whole entire window assembly in my door, and it wasn't that bad to work on. But I already had power windows, one just broke. Anyways, I think it's more of a headache than it's worth.....

forget it...I am in the middle of doing it right now...

your car is not wired for teh pwr windows...

I've run 75' of wire in my car to get everything in the right spots....

thers control units and stuff you need as well as a relay under the hood....

if your really keen on doing it....get the entire interior harness from teh "donor" car adn use that...it's a big job trust me mine have been in for over a month and still don't work.....theres a lot more to it then just running power to the motors....actually you don't run power to them at all...

I installed them in my car, but I had installed the harness when I did the EFI conversion.... pretty easy...
