    I love my electric windows - especially when I hit the lock button on my alarm remote - all the windows go up.

    Haha. Happened on both my GQs with elec windows, but the regulator stuffs out and if you wind the window down it won't go up. I spent all Australia Day weekend with my window down because it wouldn't go up. Worst was the first day because it was pissing rain all day. I do love electric windows though.

    We made the choice a few years back that for our next vehicle we would prefer manual windows. One reason for buying the DX.
    For some 25 years or more we had always had electric, and despite no having problems with the windows they gave us plenty of other headaches.
    Would stop the vehicle to get out then the wife would say "I haven't closed my window yet". Key back in, ignition back on, just so she could close her side.
    Having the manual windows has given us one less reason to yell at one another. My vote, manual.

    But you can wire them up so you don't need to put the key in 2 wind up the windows

    If your going through rivers deep enough and same with bog holes you have issues.
    Well rivers maybe but bog holes? Drive around those things.
    As long as the gears are greased and the runners and channels are in good nick there is no reason for the window to jam. Unless the motor fails.

    Electric is my vote.

    I bought my 93 patrol with manual winders, originally it was electric. Now when I go over bumps, the front ones particularly, work down. When I have them up I can just push them down. Anyone else's do that or know how to fix it??

    Don't have an answer unfortunately but my 90 gq was electric and previous owner switched to manual as well but they are fine.
