I have a 1980 f150 302 that the passenger side window lift motor is seized up. Is there any way to get the window down with out taking out the motor? also if I wanted to change from power to a manual window regulator where does the manual regualtor bolt to the door frame? Any suggestions? Should I stick wtih power or switch to manual. Tired of the window being flakey.

 

You have to remove the whole assembly to get the window to go down. A new motor will cost about $50.
You will have to drill the rivets to remove the assembly.
I strongly suggest sticking with the power windows. You won't regret it!
A pain in the butt (but worthwhile) job.

yes keep the power windows..they are really nice.

 

When you have it opened up lube every moving part.....that window will glide up and down like when it was showroom new.

 

Thanks everyone for great advice!! I will let you know how it comes out. Still getting the hang of working on an older pk-up so what i think should take a couple of hours usually takes 4-5 but I'll get there.
