Converting the Power Windows

Some of my power windows in my truck have started to die. Is there a way to keep my power windows and install manual rollers for the windows at the same time. Is there any kits or can I fabricate something that will do this?

there is no way to roll my windows up or down with broken power windows, and its a pain in the ass to replace the motors

Re: Converting the Power Windows

for the ammount of effort that would go into converting power windows to manual windows i'd recomend just replacing the failing motor with a new unit. you are right that replacing the motor is a pain, but so would be collecting and installing a manual window regulator the crank assembly and possibly different door panels. if you are still bent on manual windows go to the junk yard and find a model tht is the same as yours with manual windows and swap the associated parts. i'm not aware of any kit that would give you both power and manual lift windows, though it is certianly not impossible it is not what i'd call feasable. really, if you had both in good working order how often do you think you would use the manual lift?

Re: Converting the Power Windows

Its easier to replace the motor than it is to convert to manual. Most vehicles use a completely different regulator assembly, so its not just as easy as adding a crank. You would need to gut the door and install the new hardware. Replacing the motor is not too tough.
