I sell these for $175 each.  I just got done installing them on both of
my Vanagons.  They are different than the stock power window regulators
in that they use the crank method to move the window like a manual
regulator while the stock power window regulator uses a pulley and
cables.  If you set these aftermarket ones up right they work well.  The
motor is shifted to an area behind where the stock speaker is located.
I used to pieces of plastic pipe as spacers which were about half an
inch long.  This allowed me to space the motor away from the speaker to
give it clearance.  I put the regulator and motor in from the bottom
hole in the door just like you do the OE regulator.  If you want to
order these let me know.
