Power doors to manual conversion how hard
I'm picking up a complete 90 suburban with a bad trans I only want the doors for my crew cab. How hard is it to convert them from electric to manual as I'd really like to run my factory door panels.

Re: Power doors to manual conversion how hard
Just bolt in your manual regulators in place of the power ones

Re: Power doors to manual conversion how hard
Anyone know if you have to pull the whole door apart to swap the window regulators or can I just pull them out and switch them with the glass and all in. If I have to pull them all down I may just convert to electric

Re: Power doors to manual conversion how hard
How did you get the door glass separated from the assembly to pull it out without taking the glass out. I did one back door it was entirely to bad just time consuming I'm stuck on the driver front because the windows stuck up so I can't get the glass out

Unbolt the regulator from the door then use the window power up/down switch to line up the notch in the center of the window track. might take a minute or 2 to find the sweet spot.

Re: Power doors to manual conversion how hard
YouTube has lots of great how to videos. Whenever I'm getting ready to work on the truck, I find and watch a few videos to get the basics. I then keep the one video that I found to be very helpful, ready on my iPad, to refer to as I'm working. This helps with those detious issues.
