convert electric window to manual??

[Jackyl]

Hello.

Is it possible to convert electric window to manual?

I only need to buy the manual system, drill a hole to the lever, and that´s it?

Im tired of the electric window.

The passenger side is stucked closed, and the drivers side, it works one day, the next doesnt... and this is when in the same day it stops working....

very annoying, and very expensive.

A new electric motor is around 200€ here in Portugal (OEM).

If i convert to manual, it never gets broken again

Is it possible, and is it simple?

ive searched and found this picture of the door with the manual window.

The only difference i see is the piece of the lever. Is there any more differences?

Thank you guys!!!

The doors are essentially the same just one has an extra hole for the window winder mechanism.

Your electric window problem is down to the window regulators, they are a common failing on all Lupo's and several other VW models.

Thanks.

Ive just went to my local vw dealer, and here are the prices:

Electric motor for the windows.

214€ (each) x2 = 428€.

Swap to manual:

around 100€ each side (75 the system + handles...) x2 = 200€.

So, for the price of one electric motor, i get 2 working windows

I dont mind roll the window manually, i think i have a winner.

Now, i only need someone to install the manual system.

Get fit windows are a good way to go if your interested in keeping everything working
