Tom. I recently did the switch from power windows to crank. The holes for the switches unfortunately are located in a different spot than the crank so it does leave an ugly hole. I plan on replacing my door panels eventually but for now I am glad to have fresh air while driving! (F.A.S.T. in Irwindale, CA offered to trade me both crank window assemblies for my one good motor but fortunately my junk van had cranks in nice condition to do the job. They probably would make the same deal for you. But if you do have a good motor you could sell it on ebay and make more than enough to buy the cranks!) -Loretta 87 Syncro GL 90 GL 82 Westy 82 Westy Partsmobile |
