I have an 87 cherokee and the window motors have gone bad and i can't roll them down now. I want to eventually get them fixed but i would rather have manual windows instead of power. Can this switch be done?

yes, but everything inside has to be swapped including glass, it's kind of a time consuming PIA, if i were to do it to another one i'd just swap doors.

but it can be done
