Spal, Autoloc, and others make power window conversion kits. They work by having a motor that you mount inside the door. It's connected to your manual window handle with a slim arm. The advantage is that they're much quieter and much more reliable than old OEM.

Many companies make doorlock actuators including DEI. Unfortunately aftermarket actuators are somewhat louder/harsher and more difficult to install. But on the plus side they are cheaper and more reliable than OEM.
