    I wanted to make my driver side manual window to power window so, I bought a drive side power window regulator with motor . The problem is the power window regulator won’t bolt to door panel. The manual window regulator mounting hole are different. am I doing something wrong or it doesn’t work that way. Any ideas?. The manual regulator has 3 bolts for mounting . Thanks for any help

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    What year did your power window regulator come out of ??

    Is it aftermarket one model fits everything??

    Worse case make an adapter plate to make it work.

    The door shells are all the same. The regulators bolt in different places however. The FSM will show you where to mount these.

    Also it’s not as easy as just plugging in the door harnesses in if you have the factory plugs pre-installed under the dash, the integration module will have to be changed. I ran my own relays and wires instead from the stock door harnesses to the other door.
