Hello everyone, I saw there wasn't many posts let alone any with major information on the topic so I figured i'd share my experience and hopefully it will help anyone else interested in preforming it as well.
I have a 2012 Jeep Patriot Sport that came from the factory with Manual windows, locks and mirrors. through various posts i figured out a good portion of what i needed. Everything is plug and play minus the RKE ill get to that later.
In order to do the swap you will need:
All 4 power door latches (5 if you'd like to make your hatch power as well however i chose to leave it alone for now)
All 4 power window regulators
Both power mirrors (not required if you don't care for them)
The complete door wiring harnesses from a patriot that came with power windows and such
And all 4 door panels with switches. (you don't need to replace the entire panel, just the center part where your window crank comes through)
You might also need a cluster from a power jeep as well since that has the drivers for the lock system. I can't confirm if the original cluster will work as i also had pulled the cluster from the same jeep i got the other parts from as it had EVIC
I can't say for certain on other years but before buying anything double check that the body harness is prewired to the door harnesses. just unclip the boot from the body side and you should see that there is more wires ran from the body side compared to the door side.
With all of that said, all that is left to do is replace all of your manual components with the power counterparts and everything should work right off the bat. Also the power windows require the door switches plugged in to function as they will not work without. If you find you don't have power going to these accessories make sure to double check your fuse box to make sure the appropriate fuses are there or missing.
As for factory RKE you would obviously require a new key fob with the buttons. However i am still currently trying to figure out how to get it to work besides just starting the car. If anyone has insight on that let me know otherwise when i figure it out myself i will update here. Hope this was of some help to someone 😊
EDIT:For most of the screws holding the door panel together you will need a t20 bit, The door lock actuator is held in by one T20 on the door panel and 3 T30 bolts on the side. The harnesses are bolted to the door using a T15.
