This is one hell of a query, a crystal ball is required to give a response, with any degree of accuracy.

You don't state the make and model of car, or the model year. With all the basic details omitted, your query is as blank as a hole in a wall.

Please fill in the blanks, and perhaps you'll get more help.

If I should suggest, continue using your manual winder. When you convert it to Auto winder, you will start having issues with burnt motor and catcher (in local terms) from time to time.

I don't think it's a big deal to convert though.

Thanks for the link posted. Honestly I never wanted to change it but the stress I go through in turning down window, to attend to someone on the passenger side especially when I'm the only one in the car, it's really annoying and frustrating as well. Hence my decision to finally change

So power window is problematic or just converted ones

I didn't say so. But with time, because of the frequent use, some of the parts will start having problem. What I mean is, since the car came with manual winder, if I were to be in your shoes, I will use it like that and save myself the stress of conversion.

For those complaining of electric window mechanisms going bad, how about manual versions? They too seize up with age. I suppose with this analogy, the next time your electric window mechanisms stop working, you'll all convert to manual operation.

For those who wish to convert to electric operation, it's easier if you buy used OEM parts from a dead car. In this case, you'll need the electric mechanisms, switches and wiring harness from a 2004-2009 Toyota Corolla. The 2006 Corolla is part-wired for electric window operation, meaning the plugs the OEM wiring harness plugs into is already in place.

The OEM electric window mechanisms are simple bolt-on affairs, the doors have the corresponding holes in place.

You'll need to plug in a fuse and relay in the vacant positions. Any decent technician should be able to get this done. Estimated time? 3 hours.

Every time you comment, I'm always impressed with the way you clearly articulate your thoughts and points that even Dumbo can follow your instructions. Bros come and setup a shop in Nigeria; I will personally ditch my Toyota and move to Audi...which BTW I still intend to do in the not too distant future...I love the A6...
