I think power window assembly is actually lighter. not 100% sure of that though.

There may be something wrong with your electrics that may be easier to fix. i don't know, but in 17 years of owning my RX-7, I have never had a blown fuse from the electric windows. I have never had a switch problem

Maybe there is something simple in the wiring that could be fixed to solve the fuse problem.

Yah a new switch, power windows have lots of problems in a any car, I rather just go manual, unless someone on here has a cheap drivers side window switch.

i think I remember reading that somewhere. Something about the whole assembly for the manual crank system was a little heavier than the electric system.

i don't know for sure though. Both of my 7's have power.
