Re: Power to Manual Windows Regulators

The short answer is - No.


This picture shows the mounting holes you will need to use when re-mounting the window regulators to the doors. Obviously; this is a manual window door.



With Manual windows, The 2 FRONT rivets holding the regulator in place are located in the front mounting holes closest to the BACK of the car. (See pic)

With Power Windows , The 2 FRONT rivets holding the regulator in place are located in the front mounting holes closest to the FRONT of the car (See un-used holes in yellow circles).

The other 2 regulator mounting holes ( red circles ) will line up with the right door holes once the front 2 are in set in the right place (depending on the swap. )

The manual regulator and the power regulator are not the same shape and I don't see any way that the manual "crank" could be added to a power regulator without major work...... MUCH simpler to just get the regulators you need rather than trying to fabricate. I've got a set of manual window regulators available,... if your interested in a set just send me a PM that includes your ZIP code and I'll reply with all the details.

Re: Power to Manual Windows Regulators

thanks for this post and reply-I have an 85camaro and had to get non rusted out doors-I had a manual crank which is what I am going to use but the doors I bought and the inerds were power. I appeared that both sets of holes would line up with my manual regulator so what holes to use for manual was my question before I had them riveted.
great reply
