Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums  

Not sure if taking my door panels off is worth it to snap a few pics, but I'll give you the written rundown:
They were added to my factory power doors.  It's pretty simple...at least, if you have the factory parts.  I came across those cranks in a no-option 87 cougar.  When I swapped them out, all I had to do was remove 3 body rivets to dislodge the old power window crank assemblies, unbolt them from the window tabs, remove them, and then mount the hand crank assemblies, attach them to the window tabs, and re-rivet them in place.  After that, I just had to make an X cut in the door panel where the hand crank shaft exits, and then put the door panels back on and install the hand cranks.  The window tabs don't need to be changed or anything.  Other than the need for a  body riveter, it's all a bolt-in deal.  Although they are probably different, I wonder if mustang window crank assemblies, or even Ford Tempo crank assemblies wouldn't just happen to be the same as these old T-bird/cougar units.


This is a shot of the Cougar it came from.  Notice the car also has power door lock switch deletes.


Car also had a no-cruise base steering wheel.
