All the crap that is filling up my garage

It s not all that different, all the whole are there for either set up. And the windows are the same. I put in the glass from my manual window parts car into my power set-up when some jackass broke in and stole my shiat! So don't worry, its friggin easy.

You just need the internals from a power setup actuators and switches.....whoever told you the glass was different is stupid

while this thread is here, I have a 87 turbo II w/power windows the door is damaged pretty bad but I have an extra s4 door with manual window, are you guys saying its not hard to transfer all the power window equipment to the non power door and have it work right, no fabrication required? thanks

no man the manul doors come ready for power...all u need to do like said above which is the motor..and the arm rest with the swtch and ur good to go

Why do you want to go to manual? Weight savings? Power switches screwing up a lot?

the metal door it self is ready for power windows, all the bolt holes are there, however i noticed base model FC 86-88 dont come with the elecrical wiring for the power windows... well at least mine didnt, however my sport model came with the wiring harness in the doors....

There's only a couple lbs difference between power/manual. But the door panel itself (for power) is an extra 2-3 lbs with all the pockets, light, and wiring.

the only thing that *could* be different is if you are using S5 panels in a S4 or vise versa is that the S4 doors dont have the mounting spots for speakers in the doors.

I want to install power windows on my manual as well. I was wondering if some one could be kind enough to post a lists of parts I would need to accomplish this. I am not the best mechanic so details are a great help. I appreciate any help from fellow rotorheads!
