My wife's 1994 civic has pretty substantial exterior damage. However, the glass is not cracked and the power windows still work.

If I get replacement doors for MANUAL windows, can I simply replace the door panels with my existing POWER window door panels?

Or, should I just hold-out for doors with POWER windows?

Thanks!

 

You'll want to get a second or third opinion on this because I'm not 100% sure, but I would think that if you can get the wiring harnesses off the damaged doors and if you can salvage the power window regulators, you can swap them. The regulators are different for manual windows, but the panels themselves should fit.

Is there frame damage, or did the doors take all the damage? You'll want to be sure so the replacement doors will line up right.

 

Thanks for the response. I'll check the frame -- good call.

 

i'm pretty sure you can get either. the bolt holes and such should all be the same on the doors.

 

well the problem will be the manual door window crank location.....
im not sure if the power motor comes off the door more or not and needs that extra inch...

 

The doors on both of them are the same..same holes and all...so all you'd really need to do, providing the wiring/regulator/etc arent damaged is just swap out the guts. But I'll have to second the idea on checking the mount points for the door, the (I think its called) B pillar, where the door striker is, and make sure they are not fubar. And the door panels off of the power doors will match right up to the manual ones, aside from wher ethe manual cranks are.... hence the suggestion to swap the guts
