You'd need to swap in the manual regulators including crank, replace the bottom window clips (glued on the bottom of the window, beats shipping the whole glass to Oz)... oh, and change or cut your trim panels to allow the winder crank. The window switches would be there, unused.

I have one such set of parts just removed from the racecar, and am about to part another manual crank car. The main big/heavy item is the regulator; shall we price shipping to Oz? If so, need an addy...

I had a similar problem and it was due to the normally closed contacts in the window switches being not normally closed.

A little tweak of the contacts and everything is fine.

Remember that the drivers side and passenger side switches are wired in series to control the passenger window, so both switches must be operating correctly (closed when they should be normally closed) in order for things to work right.
