I pulled some power lifts out of a Jeep the other day which I'm going to try rigging up on my rear quarter windows (if I ever get time).

I think the main problem with the door windows is the combination of weight and resistance in the guides.  Unless you figure a way of keeping the helper springs from the manual system you need a lot of power.
