    Electric or Manual Windows?

    Hi all

    My GQ has manual windows at the moment and i can get most of the gear to do an electric conversion ( door cards, switches and motors).

    I am after peoples opinion is it worth the hassle? How do the electrical components stand up to river crossings/bog holes?

    I am leaning towards leaving it manual windows.

    cheers.

    Leave it manual mate.

    A lot of people seem to have issues with the electric windows on the gq.

    I know it's a big call but depending on the type of 4wding you do if you like deep river crossings or if something happens whilst you are in deep water then you know you can manually wind the window down and get out.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Had a mate who's window wouldn't wind up when he got to work, half the day later and he finally got it. Stay manual so simple!

    With rain and little dust, electric windows get really slow.

    I changed mine to manual and so my brother.
