Feasible to convert power windows to manual crank on 240 ?

Discussion in 'Volvo 240' started by Eunoia Eigensinn, Feb 10, 2005.

  1. There have been very few times in the life of any of my 240GLs when all
    four of the power windows were working perfectly, hence requiring the
    old pop-the-switch-and scrape-the-contacts routine, a chore that
    invariably gets left undone for long periods of time, usually when it's
    gotten to the point that all but one of the windows is dormant and it's
    100 degrees in the shade.

    It's at those times that I wished that I had manually-cranked windows.

    So, I'm wondering how much of a chore it would be to convert them ?

    Pretty easy really, I've only ever converted the other way around but it'd
    be fairly trivial to replace the power window motors with manual crank
    window regulators. Never had much problems with the power ones myself
    though, perhaps you should try cleaning all the switches at once and apply
    some dielectric grease to them to keep them from oxidizing.
