(Page 1/2) richard in nc DEC 23, 05:43 PM since its IMPOSSIBLE to roll up the passinger side window while sitting in the drivers seat i bought two 1986?doors complete with power windows.my plan is to bolt them on and then swap the outer panel and the inner panel.

It's not "impossible"... it just requires a minor dislocation of the right shoulder. olejoedad DEC 23, 07:30 PM Be aware that the power mirror wiring changed slightly during the Fiero production run. IIRC, it was between the 85 and 86 model year, but it's been about 20 years since I discovered it..... I will look in my FSMs later and report back. fierobear DEC 23, 07:47 PM quote Originally posted by richard in nc: since its IMPOSSIBLE to roll up the passinger side window while sitting in the drivers seat i bought two 1986?doors complete with power windows.my plan is to bolt them on and then swap the outer panel and the inner panel. Did you get a cross-car accessory harness? richard in nc DEC 24, 12:40 AM i honesty tried to get the whole harness but it was run all over the car.im thinking i just need two wires to each door and a wire with a fuse to the battery.i always straight wire my cars so the power windows work without the switch being on. 1985 Fiero GT DEC 24, 07:38 AM You might have issues with the doors lining up, because of the way the mill and drill machine worked, all of the body panels lined up with each other in each individual car, but when you move a door complete with power skin to another car it likely doesn't like up perfectly, it would likely be easier to swap the guts out and put power windows in your original doors Raydar DEC 24, 10:23 AM quote Originally posted by 1985 Fiero GT: ...it would likely be easier to swap the guts out and put power windows in your original doors This is what I ended up doing.

Just a few thoughts (my opinion only): 1 - For the doors themselves... more than likely, the power windows are *barely* functional as it is... so you're not really saving yourself much if ANY effort at all by swapping the doors. I say this because you're going to want to rebuild the motor tracks, rollers, and everything else. I'd say it would be different if we were still in the 90s, and you could still get lower mileage Fiero parts. But everything you're going to get today is either totally trashed, or has been sitting in the heat somewhere. Everything obviously uses interchangeable parts... but because of the way the jig was set up, the doors will have to be adjusted to fit properly... where as your old doors are already positioned properly for your car. So just my opinion... you definitely want to keep your old doors... take apart the inside, and disassemble, clean, rebuild, and install all the components from the other door into your new car. Trust me on this. 2 - If you can still go back to the car in the junkyard, definitely try to get the power window harness. It's not as complicated as it may seem (it's WAY less complicated than power door locks), but you'll be saving yourself a lot of effort. You should get the switches, harness, center console switch bracket, etc. The entire harness basically runs along the center console, and then it's taped into the larger harness (though not connected to it) as it goes through the dash on either side to the doors. It connects into an "accessory power distribution block" which is located under the drivers side... basically... up against the firewall behind the fuse panel. It's really convenient because it's a large white block (if I remember correctly), that different accessories basically just plug into. Super convenient. ... if you absolutely, cannot get the old harness, then I recommend using the service manual to reconstruct the harness. You don't want power going through the switch... you only want to use that to control a relay. fierobear DEC 24, 02:28 PM quote Originally posted by Raydar: This is what I ended up doing.
