Electric vent windows weren't an option on our cars. You could probably make something from some other car work though...

The smoking vent on a window goes down in the door then the window follows.I know the 86 XR7 had them I bought one new that had them.

Never heard of such an animal on a fox Bird or Cat. If you had one you should've kept it, because offhand I'd say it was the only one, or one of very, very few...

The electric vent windows I have seen (on a 1960 Chrysler Imperial) just had a motor to power rotate, they didn't roll down in the door. That's why I said it might be easy to add a pivot motor. To have them roll down would not be an easy add on...

The most frustrating thing I ever did to a vehicle bar none ...88 town car window regulator replacement , even worse than removing the dead rodent from the evaporator core on a 79 Fairmont

Any back on topic I have only seen a handful of vent window fox bodies and none were electric

Yes I wished I still had that car but the kids came and it had to go.

Was an option on the BIG Fords / Mercurys / Lincolns in the 70's.  Vent window glass went down into the door first, then large glass followed.  "Power mini-vents" Ford called them. Never saw them on a fox body.
