Anyone have any info on converting from power windows to manual windows? Also any info on converting to lexan windows would be great also. Thanks!

i'm guessing just grab a manual door and use the door or transfer the insides. don't know about your area but in norcal doors go for $50 complete. dunno if that helps

yep

do what r3v_vng3 said

i grabbed a door with manual windows in them

and just replace the guts in one in the other

just be careful not to break the glass (obvious)

the only advice i have is i used a decent size screwdriver to pry the window cable frame away from the inside of the door

there are studs in the top (2 studs) and 2 in the bottom that hold the power frame and the manual frame in place

i could not figure out how to get the studs out while the frame was in the door so i just pryed the space between the window frame and the door frame wider

it just did a plastic bend it would go right back in place to it didnt hurt a thing

any more questions pm me
