My mechanical skills are severely lacking so every time I actually manage to fix something I party like its 1999... get it? No? Well....

Kinja'd!!!

Anyway, the passenger window came off of it's track so I went to investigate today and the track had completely come detached from the door frame. Nice. BUT, all I had to do was figure out how to remove the door panels and fixtures (something that was not explained on alfabb or in my shop manual, probably because it's super easy. For someone who know's what he's doing...) and what to do. I ended up buying the wrong size bolt. 3 times. Yay Me. Anyway, now I don't have to worry about shattering the glass every time I roll up my window! Now excuse me while I go enjoy some top-down coastal motoring...

I remember placing my window regulator. Something about working with glass...its like working with electricity or gas...you are extra careful then you just realize that its like anything else and you figure it out and get it done. Congrats.

Congrats :) I hate taking apart interior trim without a guide. Too often I've missed a screw or a clip and shattered decades-old plastic.

Nice picture as well :)

Thanks! Yah I made sure to bag all the screws. I thought I lost one but then I found it and it was a glorious moment.

I mean I guess I could. It needs a comprehensive wash though... soon. very soon. I'm debating taking it for a 400 mile round trip this weekend. If I do there should be some nice photo opportunities. I will share.
