I hate and i mean HATE power windows. in about 11 to 13 years you have to replace all the motors and the windows u use less you will replace those sooner

AND what ultimate way to make it look like a 49 Chevy. they did not have power windows in 49

i loved crank windows and wish we still had them on lower model cars. another reason i would have bought an LS

I thought it was kind of weird that my last two GM vehicles had pretty much power everything except power windows. I hated it! I like just pushing a button rather than reaching down and repeatedly bashing my knee trying to crank my window down. Not to mention how much faster electric windows open. I guess it's a personal preference but you're the first person I've met with that opinion CJ.

i like the auto express feature, requires less work outta me when im at the drive thru getting my super sized greasy burger combo

I would like to second this opinion!


As much as I hated swapping the **** out on my T-Bird when they burnt out, I hated not being able to easily roll down the passenger window on my Truck with the manual even more.

I think I preferred the double split design they had on the concept myself.

you might find others that like crank windows on a retro car. how about a poll?

i am serious, i would convert all 4 windows and not even flinch,,, use the window switches to do other things, cutouts, flames, nox and fog lamps,,, wait,,, i like that idea

as to the knee thing, i use to make sure mine wasn't against the door when i rolled it down,,,
plus when you only have a 29 in inseam, its easier to keep your legs out of the way
:
it is because i am 52 and the one and only CJ and you are the one and only CH. i grew up w these, didnt have electric windows in a car till 92 when we bought a Chevy G20 short wheel base MarkVI conversion van. i had been driving 25 years when we got the van.

oh and bard doors would be cool too

Why not go down to Discount Auto a get a couple of window cranks and either screw or glue them on the door panels?

Don't plan on keeping the car that long to worry about that!

cj krause

woooooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh,,, now there is a thought,,, quick,,, where did you say you bought yours at for your HHR, JX3, Ganji village?

come on man,,, y dont i just take some can of paint or some permanent markers and tape off an area and paint a handle on there on all 4 doors, wait, better idea, ill just find a picture of one and tape it on or contact cement it on.

i said a totally functioning. i didnt say i wanted the looks,,, i want them to work.

and to 1badpig,,, we all want our HHRs for some reason,, i can tell you this,,,, i plan on keeping mine a very very long time. it is why i fixed it up as much as i have and still have more to go

it will be one Bad Ass hauling, sounding, good looking HHR when i am done by the end of this year
