Suck on this and see if it suits.

I bought power bits for my 84 Caravelle from Electric-Life's New York branch:

-VK12-k               electric regulators for both cab doors
$175.00
-4990-10-227     3 VW-style window switches, 2 bezels, wiring harness  $65.00
-Magic-Life 2 one-touch driver's window unit
$95.00
-4-door remote central locking system
$295.00
-remote start with alarm w/extra channels
$95.00

As my van has been in storage for 2 years, I haven't had the
opportunity to fit these kits. They appear to be much better quality
than the one-size-fits-all-makes units such as AutoLoc.

Hope this is of use.
