      Windows.

      Hey,
      Is it possible to change the windows from manual to power windows ?
      And has anyone done it before ?

      Thanks


      I was speeding, so were you. Will you give yourself a ticket too?

      the harness is in the body of the car, i think if you swapped all the parts into the four doors on it would work? might need to add a fuse or relay. but just putting the harness switches and regulator/motors would leave you with holes in the door panel.

      Wow
      Sounds like a lot of work.
      Maybe muscles will do.
      For sure I'm curious to see if someone already done that.
      Thanks by the way!

      Thank you

      I'll probably start with cruise control, and see if I still feel brave.

      I remember my dad telling me that when some people restore classic cars, they put in power window kits. But instead of using actual controls, they use the manual knob, which all you'd have to do is tap it down to open, and tap it back up to close it. But that sounds just as troublesome as trying to drill holes for the controls and patching up the hole from the manual knob. I kinda wanted to do power windows, but I look at the positives of these manual windows.
