I believe you will need to change the regulator but can be done.

Just one question.....why would you want to as electric window regulators are cheap enough to buy and easy to change. Surely the manual mechanism will last just as long as the electric version.

Good answer Buddy  :laugh:  I would have thought the mechanism is easy to swap over and the doorcard is mega easy.

I would swap it while the door is off due to access issues!
