I'm talking about getting rid of the power windows, not adding them. Mine work fine, but I would like to delete the feature and go to manual windows. I was just searching for some wisdom on how difficult the manual window crank mechs would be to graft in there. Appreciate the replies so far. You are right, the power window option has electrical spidering all through the damn harness and doors. If I remove them, I'll be de-pinning the entire system to remove the wiring from the harness; I'll be left with next to nothing in there!!
