Convert Backwards…?

Post by Spark »

Has anyone ever done a backwards conversion from electric windows to manual?

TIA

Backwards? That's an upgrade! It's pretty easy to do. The only issue is that you would need door cards from the donor. The nice thing is that there wasn't really a shortage of E12s in the US with the Spanish windows, unlike E28s which have to be had from a Euro car.

Yeah thinking since we did the auto to manual swap on the transmission we would stay with the theme... :D All kidding aside, I like the idea of less is more on this car.
