gutting a door?

Thorp · 11-02-2021, 07:19 PM

I had a manual door mashed up in a wreck. I can find some tings at the junkyard, but they are all auto windows.

How hard is it, ( even possible) to turn an automatic door into a manual one?

Also, changing out the lock cylinder? this fairly straight forward?

I think it is totally possible. You need the crank regulator, the crank, and the crank interior door panel. Here are pics inside a door:

I had considered swapping this one over to cranks but we get very few SC1/2s in the local junkyard. I'm pretty sure OldNuc said it was possible, probably earlier in the thread.

The current lashed door still functions, just doesnt seal. so i was hoping to somehow take current interior panel and current window " guts" and somehow mount to new door minus it's " guts. the pictures in that thread so him making fiberlgass mounts and what not.. if that is the only option, ill just not have a window.

Just look at this picture:

You can see how the regulator bolts in, sort of.

I think that will work.
