Convert to manual windows?

The window motors are on the way out, the driver side keeps stopping when its cold out. Is there a way to just ditch the power windows and run crank windows?

Just looking for a cheap solution that will last a while.

Cheapest solution is just buy a motor with a lifetime warranty, replace it yourself, and never have to pay for one again.

^^ Yup

$50 and it is fixed "forever".

You'll pay at least $30 for a manual regulator, then have to struggle with installing it and suffer no longer having power.

Replace the motor once and the next time is a cake walk. It's seriously a 15 minute job to replace a motor the second time.
