CGT Manual windows?? converting from power to manual? anyone done it?

> has anyone ever converted from power to manual windows on the CGT?

No, but I went the other way on my '82.

> I assume that the '84 and earlier CGT's had manual windows...

Not correct, just some "lowly spec'd" ones like my sunroofless model. 
That said, I've only ever seen two with manual windows, and they were 
both 82's.

It should be easy, and the year of the car won't matter.  The body type 
parts are pretty much all interchangeable (except for trim differences).

There will even be a knockout in your door liner for where the handle goes.

> anyone got a pair of manual window regulators they'd part with?

I think my old ones are long gone by now.  You might have better luck 
scouring Europe for them, Audis that came stateside tended towards the 
luxury end of the options spectrum.  If you do find them, you might try 
to get whatever is in the donor car in the place your window switches 
are.  If the car is the same "generation" at least.  You can probably 
get the bit you need through a dealer, too.

You could probably get really creative and remove the motors and put 
handles on your existing regulators...

I've ignored the obvious question. (Why?)
