Electric to Manual Window Conversion

Hello,
Since this is the second time a friend's power window motor (driver's side) has failed within 3 years,
I'm wondering if it's possible to install a standard manual window crank without much effort.
The electric window motors are too expensive for me in the long run.

It's a Polo 6N, manufactured in September 1998, a 2-door model with a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, 60 horsepower, and 130,000 kilometers on the odometer.

Perhaps I should go to a junkyard or a car recycling center and take the complete interior door panel with the mechanisms from a damaged car.
You'll probably find the parts at the lowest price there.

Maybe you've tried this before, but it helped me. I'm not used to these parts failing so often; it's usually the guides that break.

The electric motor repeatedly stops at the same point because it has "learned" to do so. This results in a "dead point." This is somehow related to the carbon brushes.

Mine was "broken" at one point, so I took it out. Then I tapped it lightly while starting the motor (separately from the guides). Eventually, it started working again. I then ran it for a very long time in both directions, reinstalled it, and it's still working.

The tip, by the way, came from my friendly .

I've also hit it quite a few times.
He usually went away again for about 2-3 months, but now I'm fed up, or rather, my girlfriend is.

Best regards, Peter.

That's the thing, it just goes back to the same spot where it was before. If you expand it and let it run, you'll have more peace and quiet for longer. It's been about 3 years now.
