I have been looking at the Specialty power window kit and was thinking about using it on the 57.

However, when the local glass shop cut the windows for the 48, they couldn't get them exact and they still aren't airtight, so I get a lot of wind noise. So, I was thinking about going with the Brothers one piece glass kit on the 57, as that is supposed to fit and seal, then the Specialty power windows kit. I would also like to use Altman latches which may complicate things.

I have watched the YouTube videos on one piece glass install on a door with Altman latches, BJSRJSCS seems to be a good one, but it doesn't have electric windows.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 57?

Thanks.
