I installed the Vader kit on Geoff Peters' car in London.   Absolutely 
outstanding engineering, fits perfectly, works great, saves a lot of weight, and 
extremely expensive for what you're getting, which is a window that goes up and 
down, just like what you already have, but faster.

If I didn't have any window mechanism and was starting from scratch, I would 
definitely give it some thought.   But if I already had a complete stock 
setup, there's nothing that I've seen or worked with (I've done an Aerostar 
conversion too, in Houston) that would convince me to switch.   My stock window setup 
with brass gears works just fine; I don't need my window to be a glass 
guillotine.   And the weight delta isn't significant enough to justify the cost on 
that basis alone either IMHO.
