I'm not sure but I think that Nissan is the last to give up crank
windows. About everyone else has gone electric.

Electric (motor driven) windows are cheaper to manufacture than the
crank
driven, mechanical assemblies they replaced.


Yeah, that seems really odd doesn't it. It used to be that elect
windows was an expensive option over a crank. Of course in 'the day'
an automatic was optional over a stick shift, now, in many cases it's
the other way around.
