I just got done installing power windows into the 130. I used a kit I bought off Ebay for $100. It is a worm drive type motor. The install took a bit of fabricating to make it fit but nothing too hard. I removed the old crank guts and used the plate that covered the crank and mounted the motor to it. I also fabed a few brackets to stabilize the the motor and reduce the shaking it is going to get while off road. The only downside to the install is that the window does not fully retract. There is about 3 inches of window still above the sill. This is caused by the lentgh of the motor track being too long or the door being too short, however you want to look at it. It works great. The reason I went with power windows is because the crank mechanism self destructed in both windows and I was having a hard time finding a reasonably priced replacement. $100 later and it's done. I have duel controls on the drivers door which is nice. I powered it with a hot wire I found behind the cigar :smokin: lighter that was not being used. Overall I am happy with the result. I'll see how it holds up on the washboard :D .
Here are a few pics of the motor. I will try and get som pics of the motor in the door soon.
