Default started the half window manual roll down


as far as a window crank goes I'll be cutting the pin off a car at the junkyard and started hunting for a "vent window crank" that matches the fronts close as possible.

here's a 65/66 impala one for $10 each

I dunno I think it would be pretty impressive if i got in someone's car and I got to use a power drill to roll down the window :-D

stx, but the XL also has all the hardware in there for it. All I had to do was mark and drill the hole to access the torex screw that rolls it up and down

All you did was drill a hole in the right spot? This is my next mod for sure! So, I pull inside door panel off, mark the hole and drill it and I'm there?

Nice mod bro. Looks like the crank will be in a tight spot. May have to find a way to shim it out.
