Can you change electric windows to manuel
« on: Sep 28, 2006, 08:18:07 AM »
I have a 85 4 runner and it has electric windows for driver and passenger, I was wondering if anyone has ever changed the electric to manuel, and if so what is involved. Thanks

take out the electric motor and swap the door panels with a crank for the window's.the locks you should'nt have to do anything.
I'm not responsable for my own action's.

I have a friend who has manual windows in his '86 and wants electric. Are you willing to trade?

It is fairly easy.  All you need to do is open up the door, and take out anything that is related to the electric windows. (motor, switches, probably the window bracket)  Then you just install the manual bracket, winder, and put it all back together.  The holes for both are pre drilled in the doors, so it should be fairly obvious what goes where.  I'd suggest swapping door panels too, that way you get the right holes in the door panels for the type of rolling device you have.
