If you do a google search you can find others that are somewhat cheaper.

Thumbs up

Just pop the window handle off and leave the bolt in. A small electric drill with a hexhead and you will be faster up and down than the fastest power window.

I saw them test the windows on the assembly line. The worker used a drill on the manuals and it was up and down in less than two seconds.

I did a search on small electric drills with cigarette lighter as power source, no hits. My rechargeable Makita can only handle so many up-down window cycles. Difficult to shift/turn/open window all at the same time too. Can anyone help??

Unhappy

Come to think of it, that assemblyline worker did have some kind of a drill hookup coming down from the ceiling.

Just forget it and use the AC.

Wreckers

Go see your local wrecker, look for an F150 with power doors and windows with the same interior color as your truck. Hopefully you can get a deal if the doors are cosmetically damaged (keyed, badly dented, bullet holes). Make sure to get the wiring from the door to the fuse panel, with all connectors.
