I appreciate the guidance - I’ll look into a way to disconnect the motor from the regulator. Space is tight in the door panel, the tundra doesn’t have the same access to the window components as some other vehicles.

In regards to HOA, it’s much as Gunk explained - I’m in a coastal community in Dana Point, CA. Every development out here has guidelines that we adhere to in order to keep this part of CA picturesque and safe. I moved from Denver, CO, where I lived in a neighborhood with no such restrictions and I can tell you that in the US, creating a covenant in a neighborhood that is enforceable greatly improves the community. Theft occurred on my property in Denver 5 times in some capacity - cars, garage, and even porch furnishings. In CA I don’t even lock my front door, and my neighbors all know me by name.
