Weight difference: Power vs manual windows.

I was having an informal discussion recently with some engineers about weight saving in cars and some of the mods people can do themselves when the topic of windows came up.

The general thoughts of this group were these days the weight savings were about nil as modern power window mechanisms weighed about the same as their manual counterparts.

Does anyone have any numbers or comments on this?

Peter.
