I used to work at D.O.W (in competition with Good Guys, Circuit City) back in the days doing car stereo installs. When customers wanted to add pw dl and windows, I remember those aftermarket parts had some weight.
Hey guys, i just swapped out my window units and decided to weigh all the parts on my digital postal scale for those interested.
POWER WINDOWS & Regulators & Accessories
8-lbs & 02 oz.
MANUAL WINDOWS & Regulators & Accessories
4-lbs & 08 oz.
This includes the Electric Window Switchs for the Power Windows, & the Door Cranks for the Manual Windows, and any misc. nuts & bolts.

I'd take those as correct then. I got those numbers from Miata friends that built numerous miata race cars so I took it at their word.
BTW, those aftermarket parts are huge compared to most OEM, especially the power door lock parts!
