Got a ?

How hard would it be to ditch the factory power windows and go to manual windows. My motors have went out so much Im just tired of replacing them. Any ideas?

no clue on the manual swap but I would check your procedures on fixing the window motor... Make sure you greese the rails... make sure the reason the motor wore out is not a broken channel or regulator... ( a broken channel is common). It should last at least several years if fixed properly.
BTW, most dealers dont do it right, a dealer replaced my motor under warranty a while back but it went out again 14 months later because it was the broken channel wearing out the motor.
and they didnt grease it. I replaced just the channel last year and all of a sudden the circuit breaker never trips and it goes up smoothly.
