Just swapping the mecanisms (auto/manual) is easy, finding door panel and window handles that match you interior, getting them shipped, or even just buying them is more trouble .....
Just get the assembly from any 88-92 power window 626/mx6, the brackets are different lenghts but the motor's are the same, so swap the motor, the assembly comes out of the door very easely, (5 (m6) 10mm bolts, 2hold the window and 3 holt the assembly).
You can test the motors/assembly's, just unplug the motor and supply 12v directly to it, (2 long wires from your battery or use a booster pack or battery charger) then reverse the polarity's to change dirrections.
I know alot of members have had switch problems, but most of ours have very slow widows due to old and tired window motors. The 626 motors (front doors) are much faster (usualy) due to the smaller size of the glass they have to move.
Using 12v directly to the motor will rule out or confirm switch problems.
I understand that its the beed track thats slipping, inspect the beeds for damage, it could be the piece that catches them.
[quote=carcenomy;1748271]Unless you're a Gavin and want the lightest AutoX machine in the world evAr, you may as well just fix your power windows. It'd be more effort removing the power window support hardware and installing the manual parts from a DX than it would be to simply fix the power windows
I have a couple of manual assembly's and they are about the same weight and size as the automatic assembly's, the handle and the button pad probably weigh the same, maybe the DX door skin weighs less? the only weigh reduction I could see, would be to pull out the wires runing in the car for the power windows, or you could just spit out your gum before the race.
