To go from power windows to a manual crank setup, you are going to have to change the window regulators, which are the lever assemblies that actually raise the windows. The manual versions will be quite different from those designed to be run by an electric motor.

The problem you are going to run into, in trying to do this, is that your wagon is a w124 chassis car, and no w124s were sold in North America with manual windows. All came with power windows standard on all four doors.

You will have to either look around for a car that was imported from overseas and is being parted, or look into special-ordering manual regulators through a dealer or another parts supplier. You will then also have to order the window cranks and any associated hardware.

The task is much simpler on a w123, as the 240d variant was sold with manual windows as standard equipment, so parts do come up from time to time.
