How much does it cost to install electric car windows?
I have an older Ford Taurus from the ‘90s. It has crank windows that I hate having to use. I can’t afford a newer vehicle, but I am curious about how much it would cost to have someone install electric windows. Is it affordable?

Having power windows installed in a car typically costs between $200 and $400 per window.
For a ‘90s Taurus (or any sedan, really), you’ll be paying, on average, about $1,000. While this isn’t cheap, it is cheaper than purchasing a new vehicle.
You may also be wondering if you can install power windows yourself. The answer is, yes—kind of. Here are a few things to note about power window installations:
- To install your own power windows, you’ll have to know how to disassemble your vehicle’s wiring and door panels and re-wire everything correctly.
- Adding power windows to your car is certainly possible, but it will add repair costs that cut into your budget over time.
- In manyaftermarketpower window kits, the motors don’t last as long as factory-produced setups do, which means that drivers who make the switch may have to replace the motors on each window every 2 to 3 years.
If that sounds like a challenge, it’s better to take your car to a mechanic, who can help you get the job done more safely and quickly.
In short—you can have power windows installed. It’s just not a simple process for most drivers.
