Default WTB roll up window assembly
I need to loose some weight on the car. I am looking for the whole assembly w/o the glass. I assume the glass for a manual window and a power window would be the same. I am willing to trade my power windows for roll up.

It doesn't save any weight.

Somehow I find that hard to believe. How would removing the window motors not save weight

Have you ever weighed a window motor? They're tiny. It weighs the same as the extra "scissor" mechanism that is in the manual doors. I have a warehouse full of F body parts, and a manual door weighs the same as a power door.


If you have your heart set on it I've got some black manual doors you can switch out for your power doors. I'm in Orlando

Search. Its been posted numerous times on the weight differences. Even if it was 2 #, people do alot more work to save 1 #.
