i dont think so... you just need the manual window regulator and the correct door panel/window crank i believe... correct me if im wrong guys

Just curious, why would you want to?
My old car had manual windows, that sucked to try to open & close the passenger window from the drivers seat.

weight... and reliability...

just need the regulators and the door panels... i've done it the other way around, not a bad deal...

that was back when one of my parts cars was a running car, though... i won't be using power windows in my accord...

couldn't you just cut holes in the panals for the handles??

The reason I am asking is I found a cheap electric door and that is easier than repairing the large dent in the manual one I currently have.

oh, just swap the internals... as simple as this.

It was not a problem bolted right up just like the board said. :rockon:

I like that I switched to manual windows... especially since the bushings on the motor were slowing my window down. No more hasstle... :D
