Window Manual to Power Conversion Help! Any help is good help.

[hobbzilla]

I recently had a run in with a deer in my 1996 Corolla. It took out both my front and passenger side doors which were power windows and locks. I went to a junk yard and luckily found doors that were the same color. It was a 1993 and had manual windows and locks. All my interior is still good on my old doors. So...

1.) Will I be able to convert my new doors with the power parts I already have? Such as bolt places for my motor.

2.) Does anyone have any advice or place were I can find a guide to doing so. I have a Haynes manual and I'm sure it will be able to guide me through as long as there are spots for me to mount the power equipment.

Thank you in advance for your help or at least taking time to read!

piece of piss, all the bolt holes should be there and you just swap everything over, if you cant do it by looking at it I doubt a manual will be any help

Apart from swapping over everything from the doors (cards, arm-rests, motors etc), the main thing I'd be investigating would be if you needed the BCM from the donor vehicle as well, as I'm fairly sure the wiring is routed through there to give logic control over when you can and can't raise/lower the windows, otherwise you'd have to wire them up with ignition-switched 12V (some cars allow you to put the windows up even after you've turned off ignition, but you can't put them down etc)

he's already got power windows etc so the wiring is all there its the new doors that have the manual winders

so he does, have had a bad run lately mis-reading posts, maybe it's a sign I shouldn't be on the forums at work :P

Other than swapping parts, you should have no problem at all. The door shells are the same part. It'll work just fine! Happy swapping.
