I had a dent free door on an 89 that was the wrong color, and I had a extremely dented door on my 93.

Sure there are other FAQ's out there but I wanted to be as close as possible.

So how do you take a manual door and convert it to power windows.

Start with this.

And end up like this.

Measure and mark the area to cut and drill.

You have to drill a 1/4 inch hole 1 1/4 inch from center to center above the top hole.

You have to make room for the tweeter by expanding the top hole to with in 3/4 of an inch from the outside
of the mirror adjuster hole.

Lastly you have to expand the hole for the speaker to accommodate the larger 93 speaker.

I have outlined in blue the area to be cut.

And you end up with

I test fitted the inner panel prior to getting the paint applied.

Tomorrow when I am finished painting the door I will snap a pic.
