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 many aftermarket
power 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.
