I actually wanted crank windows and manual locks. I don't think that was an Option on the SS.
I was looking at astripper Z with T-tops when I bought my car.
The Z even had a tape deck instead of a CD.

Man I wonder if it would be worth it to find a 4th gen at a junkyard with manual locks/windows and just putting those doors on. Save the weight and the hassle of fixing the motor every time it breaks. It would probably be a hell of a time putting new doors on though.

I bought both of mine aftermarket from a company on ebay over 2 years ago at $29.99 each + $18 for shipping and did the replacement myself. It took me about 2-3 hours without encountering any problems except removing/installing the the damn door panels. They still work great to this day and probably will for a long time to come.

There was a write up I found I gotta find it again in my 5 gazillion bookmarks that had instructions and part numbers for installing the same driver side window quick down module on the passenger side and on the driver side passenger button. Let me look see if i can find it.
