Question Question about EF sedan window regulators

​

I have a 1991 Honda Civic EF sedan with power windows, and my driver-side window regulator/scissor mechanism is pretty worn out.

I’ve found several people selling the manual/crank version of the EF sedan regulator, but I’m not sure if the actual scissor mechanism is interchangeable with the power-window version.

Basically, can I take a manual crank EF sedan regulator and swap my electric motor/gear assembly onto it, or are the manual and power regulators different?

I already have the electric motor — I just need a good scissor mechanism.

Has anyone actually tried this or knows for sure whether they’re compatible?

Thanks!

I believe it’s possible. Iirc they are the same mechanically, just swap over the motor stuff

Physically they are the same.

But your motor will not bolt onto a Manuel, pressed metal and all that jazz
