Auto to Manual windows

Thinking of swapping my electric windows to manual. Are the holes for the window crank in the same place as the switches ?, what would y'all do. I need to decide before I buy the one piece window kit.

No the hole for the crank to come through is not in the same place as the switch on the door panel.

Re: Auto to Manual windows

You can always find something to cover up the holes from the switches though , finished piece of wood painted to match the door panels or something.
