I remember somebody years ago did it. He got door panels from a junk yard car that had manual windows. I dont remember anything else.

Re: Power->manual windows?

I did it January '09 in my '93 Z28. I went to the local Pick-N-Pull and luckily they had a 4th Gen Camaro that was also black that had power windows/locks/mirrors. The build date was '97 but that didn't matter to me.

Pretty painless install, really. All I did was remove the front wheel inner fender liner, remove the bolts holding the door on, unplug all accessories, and try to pull what you can through the rubber flexible grommet.

Spend some time aligning the doors when you're all finished, you will thank yourself later. I didn't have any help through the entire process, just used a jack and a box for leverage. Best thing I have done on the Camaro, I hated the slow power windows.
