884's will definitely work, but I don't know how 888's will work since their switching frequency is slightly higher than the 888's.
I expect the Victor888 will have the same issue as the Jaguar or Talon with window motors. Stick with the obsolete 884 or search CD for info on how to remove the lock pin. If you don't need variable speed, a spike could work and would not have the lock pin issue.

The purpose of the lock pin is to hold the car window up when no power is applied. The faster pulses of the modern speed controller does not give the pin time to engage/disengage. Of course, you could use this feature to hold up an arm or some other object that works against gravity.
