Can a power window in a car be transformed into a manual crank window?
There are two reasons for me wanting to do such a thing. First, is because 4/5 power windows have failed. The sun roof, the two back seat windows, the front passenger seat window and the driver's window sounds like it's ready to go soon too. I looked up how much it would cost just for a replacement part for a power window motor and it's $53.99 each. The second reason is because I'm transforming my vehicle into a Zombie Mobile and I'm doing just about everything to make it look the part and act the part and one of the things I want to do is convert the power windows tomanual windows. In general, I'd rather have manual ones anyways lol. If such a procedure is possible to do and doesn't require special tools how can I do this? Any ideas? Any websites you know of that have instructions or anything? If you need to know the vehicle I drive is a 2001 Ford Escape XLT V6. It's not the greatest car in the world but I'm a dumb 17yo that's going crazy with it lol.
The manufacture uses the exact same door for both options, the only difference is the interior trim panel, Yours obviously doesn't have a hole for the crank to stick through and a few other slight differences, Not that you couldn't fix that with a drill but it may look a little wonky, other than that yes you can replace the electric with a manual, all the holes will line up.
Look to your junk yard it's cheaper just you have to remove you need regulators and parts with it you understand you will have to remove the glass from each window and reinstall with new corks into channel they set in and all other parts also repair them that way you only have to replace a few parts not the whole door parts

- Car won't crank with a new battery and alternator it has no electrical power what could the problem be? I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT that has been running for months when I tried starting it earlier today it would click once then nothing. Now it has no electrical power at all.
- How to fix window from 2006 Ford F150 that isn't power window but rather manual? My window seems to roll down perfectly but when I try to roll it back up it makes popping noises and is very difficult to roll back up and I have to use my hand to push it up. My Windows are not electrical but they have have the old style manual roll. It's the passengers seat. If anyone knows how to, I'd be happy to know!
- Can you replace a power window with a manual one? My car (2001 Ford Escape XLT V6) has power windows and the back seat driver, I think, and the front right passenger window are done. So I'm wondering if it's actually possible to just replace the door panels or something and get a manual roll up window that way I won't have to deal with the motor breaking or whatever lol. I live in FL with no A/C so the windows have to be down, also it rains a lot here as most know lol.
