    Has anyone had problems with the windows rolling up or down on your 348. Most of the time the windows won't roll up without "playing" with the switches, and if they do roll, they are extremely slow.

    The window switches dont last forever either... you get better switches in a Kia.
    At least the price to replace is similar to the quality... call Ricambi (look up for the phone number) they have them, and they're very cheap.

    The slow windows is a 348 thing... all our windows are slow due to a very poor ground circuit engineered into the wiring harness.
    Those accelerator box things improve the ground of the window motors... but dont make them a whole lot faster.

    First things first.

    1) Open you door and have a look at the connectors. These threads will give you a better idea of what you are looking for.

    Then if the above check out okay you my need to use Frazer's window kit. It can be bought from him here: http://www.btinternet.com/~frazer.smith1/ferrariwindow/index.html
    This is the original thread that Frazer posted about his window boosters.http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106031

    Finally,
    Use the search function. Just about everything you can think of for our 348's has been talked about at one time or another.

    Yes Frazer will help you out.

    I bought a set from him and they work just fine.

    Easy to install, he has a video showing it all.

    Looks like I may be having the same issue.

    Gotta love the electrics on these things! Between this and the HVAC fan, need to find a few hours do dig in. New puppy is not helping!
