Replacing Doors Question

I need to replace both doors on my 86 GN. The original ones are all rusted out. I found a pair of rust free doors that came off a Regal. I just noticed the replacement doors do not have power lock switches in them. Is it possible to take out the power door mechinisms out of the old doors and install in the new doors?

It's possible, just a PITA. Take your time, and you shouldn't have to hard of a time. Just don't try to rush the job. KB

look on the replacement doors and I think they have dimples where you need to drill to bolt in the door lock plungers. Look at yours and compare, shouldn't be no big deal at all Daniel Ray
