    I still consider electric windows to be futuristic show-off fluffery, despite not having actually seen manual winders in a few years.

      I’m reading this while sitting in a rather new electric Renault Zoë where the windows in the back are manual!

      my daily driver is a 2015 wrangler with crank windows. 158k. automatic transmission. only “big” fixes were oil cleaned housing and the latest was last month, radiator broke its seal on bottom. simple swap.

      We have manual winders. (We down graded our car on purpose for cheaper repairs)

      I prefer winders for the front. No need for key in accessory position, and fine control.

      Back is tricky
