Power Window switch inplace of manual window crank?

[streetworkxs]

I found some '79 el camino door panels but they have roll up windows. I have power windows in my car and was wondering if I can use my power window switches in place of the cranks. Are the holes going to be really big for the cranks? Has anyone does this? I need to know asap. I might get them tomorrow. (friday) the 9th

You can use them. All you need to do is cut the round holes into square or rectangluar holes. The switches mount into steel retainers that clamp around the hole on the trim panel. Use the retainers as guides to cut the new holes.

This is probably too late, but you know what's a cool thing to do? I work at a Mustang 'restomod' type of shop, and we used hottronic switches which utilize the stock manual window crank, and converts it into an electrical switch for power windows! Do an internet search. I've dealt with these switches first hand, and they are top quality.
