I have a 1990 rs w/ manual windows, and I really want power windows. How hard would it be to swap the manual out for power, would I just be better off buying two new doors?

If you are really interested. I have a complete setup in my garage I'm thinking about selling, Drop me an email with an offer.
I have the window reg. with the motors,wireing, but only one of the switches.

 

what do you want for it? i might be interested.

 

I've done the swap twice already, following the link above. It's actually very easy to do (atleast I find it was) The first swap I gutted the whole interior to do, second swap just took out the front seats & pulled back the carpet. Took about 4hrs to do

One more swap to complete yet

 

but is it worth the money and trouble just to have power windows?

 

its not that hard in theory but it takes PATIENCE!!!!! just to do 1 door took me all weekend. if you dont already have a dremel, id go buy one with about 20 cutting wheels, those rivets are a B*TCH!!!!

good luck to ya....

 

i am awanting to swap from original power over to manual in my 82 trans am, so if someone wants to do some parts swapping then lemme know, i am going to gut the doors on the car here once i find out what all parts differ between power and manual

thanks

 

Replaced my power window motor yesterday, not as hard as some would make you believe, but patience is definatley key

 

Hey rockfourone,

If you ever have to change out another window regulator, just take a small punch and knock the center pins (if there) out of the rivets and then use a drill with a 1/4" drill bit to drill the heads off. About 15 seconds a rivet.
