Default Is it possible to convert manual windows to power windows?

Hi guys
I have a dodge 2007 1500 TR4 with manual windows,and I would like to have power windows instead. Is it possible or will I have problems in the future? If it feasable how much should I expect to pay?
Thank you

There are kits to add the power window function, I found a doner truck and put the factory power windows and door panels on Then just had to figure out the wireing and add power from a keyed source. Not really that hard but then my doner truck was in my yard for about 3 weeks so I had everything I could possibly need available for free. The truck was totaled and friend left it here until Insurance company made up thier minds on what to do with it..

Yeah, find a donor and strip it. Should be a plug and play thing. You may need to get the door panels too.

Yep you have to have the door panels if you want it to look factory, the window regulators bolt right into the original bolt holes the manual regulators came out of..
You will need to bring power into the door for the power windows, other than that simple simon.

Welcome to the site

I would swap doors also. Would be less of a headache IMO.
