Non PW to PW swap. Easily Do-Able?

[Rikter]

Hey there,

I searched through all the FAQs and didn't come up with any for this swap. Is it easy to swap non power windows to power windows in a S13?

Need door panels, switches, and motors. Then just run all the wiring. Not difficult. I traded a pair of power doors for a set of wheels a while back. The guy had the PW installed in my driveway in about an hour and half. It was his first time.

In other words... It's very do-able, and not difficult.

Most people ditch their PW to save weight anyway. All personal preference. I'm happy with hand cranks.

ill trade u my power for your non.

Or just swap the entire door, WAY easier haha. I think you have to take off the fenders to get to the door bolts though.....so maybe not that easy but easy still.

Yes, you have to remove the fenders to swap doors. Plus then your doors are a different color. Either way will work. Most time consuming is still the wiring.

Great, thanks for the replies guys. I was looking at an S13 but it had manual windows and i'm lazy and want power ( I drive with windows down 95% of the time and leaning over to hand crank all the time would get annoying ). I've got a few friends that are wiring guru's so i'll enlist their help.
Thanks!
