Power Window Conversion

Thanks to Motorollow's help, my 99 now has power windows! The second window took us less an hour to do, including time spent on cleaning and re-lube the tracks. The first one took much longer since we had no idea what was the best plan of attack. The hardest part was getting the manual regulator out of the door due to the tight space inside the door and the axle where the hand crank attached to.

We took out the stopper from the glass and the 3 bolts holding the window to the track. We have to lower and raise the windows to get access to these bolts. Than we unbolt the track which the cable attaching to. We than take the regulator and track out from one of the big hole on the lower part of the door. The rest was reverse the process which was little easier.

The good news was that the NB doors and center console are already pre-wired for power windows. I got a pair of donor doors from TDR and a new console switch from MS.

I wonder anyone know if it is possible to make fine adjustment to the height of the windows?

I just did the opposite on my NA by converting to manual windows. It's quite the fun project!

My 91 was also converted from E windows back to manual. I hate electric windows. and with the manual
type you never have any problems that plague the electric ones.
I purchased all new regulators for both doors from Rosenthal and then removed my non working passenger side
and working driverside regulators and sold both on ebay even the center console switch was sold.
Ended up costing me only about $50 for the entire conversion. Except for the diamond plate cover over the old
switch hole in the console you would never know it ever had electric windows.
