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.
