  • Manual to power window swap.

    Hey guys,
    This is my first post on here:burn:(Although I've been reading stuff on here for months.) I have a 2001 RS Camaro. It did not come with power anything. I added power door locks when I installed my Autopage alarm. I would like to convert the windows over to power, too. So has anyone here done that? And does anyone know all the parts I would need? I have been looking on ebay for the door switches, and the regulators are everywhere. What else do I need, and is it worth it?
    I am tired of not being able to roll down the passenger side when I'm driving.


    Thanks in advance.

      OK, I found some posts on this now. Looks like the majority of people are saying to stick with the manual windows. I had wondered about the motors burning out, and lifting those huge windows. Guess I'll keep the crankers. I had problems with my 99 S-10 window motors too. They would not go down if I rolled them all the way up. But if I left them down a crack, even the smallest amount, they worked fine.

        Cheapest and easiest way to convert, buy doors that already have power windows installed.

            I converted my manual windows to power about 9 years ago. They are still going strong! I bought a kit online from a company called autoloc by hoffman. I'm not sure if they are still in business or not. But I think it is well worth it to do. I bought the factory window switches so everything would look factory.
