roll up window conversion
Hello
Is there a kit to convert a electric window to roll up?
Where could I get this?
I have a 75 vett and I hate electric windows.
Could I just buy the parts and convert it?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi a,
I believe in order to make the conversion you'd need to buy a right and left manual window regulator.
Check out Bair's Corvettes for new and rebuilt regulators.
The conversion is straight forward but generally working on the side windows in any way isn't easy.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

The problem with power windows today is the crappy foreign made switches that usually fail after a couple of years. It is a pain pulling the rear console to change the bad switch. I finally found some nos GM switches. Hopefully they will last longer.

Isn't this a little like converting from a manual transmission to an automatic? I mean, WTH does that?
