The AN8's run about 40$ depending on the supplier. The AN8's come with a magnet assembly but it would not work in our use. We mounted a 15 tooth #35 sprocket on to the window motor and then mounted a 1/2" x 1/8" diametrically magnetized neodymium magnet on top of the sprocket. The Cherry sensor was then mounted 2.5mm away from the magnet. Look at the picture in this link.

You'll also need the matching Delphi connector to make a cable for it. There are getting to be more and more sensors of this type in the market. Many are much more expensive.
