I don’t know how useful this will be a on a GT site since they come with power windows, but I’m sure there is some one on here this might help.
1) Find a motor and a regulator and the bessel and switches for each one of the doors you wish to convert from either eBay or a local yard. NOTE: 99+ motors and regulators differ from the of previous years for N-bodies.
2) buy all the electrical goods. for me this consisted of 25 feet of speaker wire with I believe was 18 gauge, 8 blue butt connectors, 10 flat connectors (don’t know what the real name is, but the pack I bought had both male and female ends), a 25 amp inline fuse, a 30 amp auto relay, and 5ft of 12-14 gauge wire.
3) remove the door panels. first remove the tweeter sail panel. next the door panel itself. to do this you must take out the reflector, and the screw behind it, the one below the handle to close the door, the one in the handle to open the door and the one inside the switch bay. there is also a c-clip on the crank handle which you must remove in order to get the crank handle off. there is a kit you can buy from like AutoZone or save your money like I did and just use a small flat head screw driver and pop it off. its butt up against the handle making it hard to do, but it is possible (NOTE: the clip will spring off, so be aware of where it goes). next just pull the door from the bottom map pocket and it will start to come off. the window liner will come off too probably with the door panel, if now take it out. then remove the water barrier.
4) wire up the car. first connect bring power from the battery in to the car using the some of the 5ft of 12-14 gauge wire also having the inline fuse on it. then connect the power to the relay, and then connect the switch wire to something in the fuse panel that turns on with the car. then ground it and finally run the power wire to a middle point for each of the doors to connect to. that wire will be the wire that will place of the brown wire that would normally go to the circuit breaker on the passenger side in the diagram. next run from the switch on the door, power and ground, and up and down from the main switch that control the other windows. mine only had 1 set of those because I have a coupe. then run the up down for the other doors into the other doors and connect it to the switch. then run power for the other doors to your main power line coming from the relay. so coupes should have 2 wires for power and sedans should have 4. next run a pair of wires about 8" long for the motors. the last wire you need to hook up is the lighting. just connect the grey wires from the windows to the grey wire in the lock switches. make sure you have everything hooked up and grounded. the 4 door has a lock switch for children, but it is in the diagram.
5) Remove old and install new: there are instructions on how to do this here (http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6910). bit make sure you read the post towards the bottom, because the how-to is wrong. and to put the new one in do it in reverse order. for the glass removal tilt the front end down and pull out the back end first. wire up the up and down for the motor and test it before you put everything back together.
Sorry if this is confusing, just ask me any questions and I will try to answer them. Hope this helps.
