So you got 92 doors with manual locks and windows to put on your car with power windows & locks?


You'll need to completely remove the wire harness and the window and regulator from your existing doors.

When you swap the 92 doors over, you will need to swap the door side moldings as well. Easiest with the door panels off and the window up so that you can get at the clips from inside the door, so that you don't break them.

Once you have the new door mounted to the car, you'll need to install your power window regulator and the glass. I am not sure if the cut outs in the door are the same between manual & power window cars, so you may need to drill or cut some holes so install the door guts properly.

For example, you may need to cut out a hole for the power lock module to be mounted in. As for the regulators, they should mount the same, you just won't have a window crank. You might need to drill some holes. I don't have first hand experience with swapping manual to power, but I've done door swaps.

Once the regulator and window is in, you can now run your wire harness into the door and screw in the appropriate items (door lock module, speaker pod etc). Plug your window switch in and test the window goes up and down properly and then reinstall your door panel.


I will just suggest that before you begin the swap, remove the door panels from your current door and the new one, and look for any obvious differences of the inner door skin, for areas that may need to be cut or modified.
