This should be a thing. Rubicon buyers who want manual windows, mirrors and locks can find Sport buyers and swap everything between the two. Like a database to match people up by location and color.
Just be careful. If you switch the wiring harness without it's brains properly connected, your windshield wipers might turn on when you use touch screen to activate the rear camera. I know, I know. These are not connected so it is not possible. #NoTech

It's not the switch that's expensive. The window motor has to be able to sense when there's an obstruction when it's on it's way up (like toddler fingers) and automatically stop so it doesn't crush them. Whereas currently, you hear the screams and take your finger off the button. It's kinda like the photoelectric eyes on your electric garage door opener.
Dang. Still want it up front please.

Your dealer (or any one of many upholstery shops) can install custom Katzkin leather for often less than the cost of leather from the factory. Plus they can include seat heater & chillers!
What what what? They can install seat chillers?

Agree its a long shot. ReKey solves half of it, cheap.

The wiring harness can be obtained and could be connected thru auxiliary switches.

But these things have brains and they reject transplants for much less simple repairs.
