Switching from power windows to manual windows, help!
Anybody switched from power windows to manual windows? I'm in there replacing my door lock actuators and I wondered how much weight I'd save and how I'd do it. Any suggestions?

I've switched from manual to power. You just have to drill out the rivets, pull everything out, and bolt the manual setup back in its place. I would guess you would only save a few pounds. I don't think it would be worth the trouble.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I still need to replace the motor or something because those windows of mine are slow! Thanks.
