#103171, "anyone removed the stock manual window crank?"
From the search, it seems that when people do the the power window mod to stock crank windows, they leave that crank on (some kits come with a little cover for the knob.)
I have some power windows from another eclipse that I want to put on my RS, this way I don't have to get a loud and slow ebay window kit. I'd like to just swap the manual crank with the power window mechanism. Swapping the entire door is not an option. I don't know how difficult this will be. There is so little working room in that door, and I'll be screwed if the mechanism was put in before the door skin was added in the factory.
I'm actually fine with the crank windows... but I want the topshop CF door panels soon

Yeah it's not as bad as you think. It's been awhile since I done mine, but I don't remember taking the glass out. I just unbolted the window from the regulator, pulled the window up and stuck a screwdriver through an empty hole near the top for it to rest on. The power regulator doesn't use all the same bolt holes the manual one does, I think two were different but they're already drilled from the factory to accept both
There is also a relay behind the radio, IIRC its the one all the way to the left, thats for your locks. If you could also take a picture of this for me, id like to add it to the wiki info.
I bought all my stuff from Stangmurdera, so if you dont have it all yet, he knows exactly what parts are needed!

Thanks again. Didn't see the wiki on this subject! If I do this, I'll be sure to add some pics and write up to it
I already have the parts for the conversion from a 95GS donor car. I'm about to sell that car, and have been pondering if I should switch the window mechanisms with the 99rs. Sparco seats have made rolling the passenger side window a inconvenience

I can imagine, but the side bolsters holding your ass in during hard driving is soooo nice
