OK heres the deal..yesterday I got hit by a uninsured driver...backed in to my stang with his mid 90's full size chevy..im not a happy camper...I found a door and fender for a good price...the problem that worries me is it has power windows and my gts has manual...has anybody or known anybody who has put thier manual window tracks in a power window equppied door? I want to keep my manual/roll ups. Id like to get a answer today as Im gonna go pick it up otherwise Ill find out tommorow when I ask one of the body guys at work....nothing worse than getting hit by a uninsured driver especially when you only have liability insurance.

Sorry to hear about that. I can't offer any first hand experience though with that. Is your manual window track or anything bent or broken now? Is your inner door panel still ok? I would think they could be swapped. A lot of times manufacturers will make something like a door to accept either so they don't have to have/make separate manual window doors and power window doors. Know what I mean?

The doors are all the same. All your manual window / lock stuff will transfer right over into the new door without a problem. That's why it's so easy to swap to power accessories on a GTS. All the wiring pigtails are already there so you just bolt in the new hardware, plug it in and go.
