weight of manual windows vs power?
I'm curious if anyone knows the difference in weight between power and manual windows. (including door cards would be even better)
I need to keep stock doors for my class, so I can't gut the entire thing (I know there is a crazy amount of weight there)
thanks!

May not be pertinent about the weight question,but if you need to roll the windows down with the battery out or of it goes dead..you're screwed.

I remember watching a vid about the new McLaren (I think) and they explained that it had power windows because they were actually lighter than manual.
Unless you have a set of manual door guts on hand I wouldn't think the weight difference would be worth it.
I've never gutted a FC door but on the Z, on which I just finished the door renovation, the heaviest thing in there has to be the side impact bar.
Which I'm assuming you cannot remove.

Personal observation lately,as I had to keep starting the car and reaching in the cabin.Battery would go dead half the time.(and I was glad I had manual windows!.I got a 10 foot span on the garage.cramped)
But as Paulo said,the whole electrical assembly is really not all that Cumbersome.
