manually roll down pwr window

December 04, 2010, 03:51:59 AM

I am gutting my donor door so I can get it ready for bodywork and paint. I need to lower the window to remove it and the trim, but it is power and the harness is all cut up. Is there a way to crank it down, take out a bolt, or do I really have to get a battery and rig it to roll down?

why cant you just remove the motor then manually lower it.

never tried it but it seems like the right thing to do.

yes, that will work. unbolt the motor then use your hands to raise and lower it. careful not to have your hands or fingers in the door itself when you do it. lots of moving in there.... Ask me how I know

by unbolt the motor, that involves drilling the rivets out? Then with it lose I will be able to wiggle the track down to remove the window?

There should be 3 bolts holding it on... Yours should look like the one on the right

If the motor has never been removed before, you will have to drill access holes to get to the mounting bolts. There are dimple spots where you drill ¾" holes.

I thought that was only for the '83-'86's??
