- In this video I swap out the power window regulator on this customers 2016 Ford Expedition. First time doing one of these myself so there was a small learning curve. Most of which could have been avoided by reading service data haha.
-Enjoy!

"We didn't have time-out growing up. We had time's up..." So true lmao.
That's a T-shirt....
And there were no sitting in the corner. There was the board of education to the seat of understanding.
It’s always better when you say it. 😂😂😂
I'm 75. Retired 15 years ago, but still wrenching for friends and family. The spasms in your arm are likely a nerve pinch in your shoulder due to bursitis. Heat, and topical pain relief helps especially BEFORE starting work in a cold shop. Oldage, and mileage are prime factors. 😊 Thanks for your channel. jimandnena
Oh how I know. 70. Retired for 8. Still working friends/family. Have all kinds of treatments for aches and pains. Life goes on.
Retired for two years. Everyone buys new cars and they don't need me. Mostly anyway.

@@billupstateny9151I have guys asking medical advice on all of my groups... From obviously non- medical members.
Thanks Doc 😅
Cervical Radiculitis. A nerve in your neck is being pinched by a bulging disc, arthritis, etc… it’s from heavy lifting, twisting, turning in strange positions under the hood or dashboard or under a gas tank etc… Advil along with Tylenol and rest , maybe a topical muscle massage. If it is happening quite often, a visit to your Doctor where a physical exam with C-spine Xray, CT and MRI will give you the diagnosis quickly. 41 years as a Radiologic Technologist with 34 years of MRI experience here. Be careful, you don’t mess with symptoms like this.!! Thanks for the great video. How I hate taking off door panels and changing window regulators!!
This is the only good thing about having a cell phone that takes pictures and videos, remembering where the hell everything gets routed!😵💫😵💫
I just had the battery die, and the pictures were not available. The replacement battery made thigs worse so even plugged in it wouldn't turn on.
Of course trash day took away the old battery before I found out.
@@robertsmith2956you threw away the battery before testing your phone works? That's karma for throwing it in the trash. Next time, return your pants you were wearing to the store 😅
@@vadim7590 No, the phone worked fine for 3 days. Each day lasting longer on the battery. The 4th day when garbage was picked up it went reboot like an old apple phone. Old battery was a nice balloon.
Pictures and GPS
This is your funniest video
"We didn't have time outs, we had time's up", cracked me right up!
That is the cleanest I've seen a door insulation panel come off in my entire You tube life.
My last window motor replacement required drilling a hole in the inside metal panel to get to the 3rd bolt. Ford thoughtfully left a dimple in the metal to show where to drill. 97 Explorer @ 150K miles.
Priceless monologue.
“For the mechanic with the on-the-go lifestyle . . . “ 😂😂
“Front hole, This Hole … A hole”
Oscar nod for best Script …
No doubt!
You catch the intro?
😂
Don't mess with my jive.
@@Torsee that was a very interesting intro. Some missed it
You have lots to look forward to, Eric. I’m 77 and now what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.
Boy are you right. When I tried to go vertical this morning even my hair hurt, and I'm bald. 78 in August.
First…My grown kids got me one of those 1/4”drive tool kits with the clip for the mobile mechanic on the go. Love it, and I’m retired.
We never had time out either, just the swish of air as a piece of leather travelled at the speed of sound.
Nice job Mr O. and yes, Mrs O is the highlight of the video
LOL....'he got it up, then he got the window up'
That was a great line, tried to slide past the viewers.
Seeing Eric clean the glass brought a smile. I had a radiator let go spraying coolant all over my windshield. Towed to GM dealer who replaced the radiator and put it back in the parking lot ready for customer pick up-windshield still covered in coolant.
You're killing me with all the vids this morning. No intermission to take a leak lol.
Love how you got all of those non critical parts properly torqued to factory spec......
Eric because it's a doorman regulator ...you...will probably be the person who takes that door apart next time😁
Yeah.....maybe tomorrow. 😁
Today I put a zip tie on my RV and I made that torque wrench noise without even thinking about it. Thanks Eric O. Now my zip tie's are torqued to spec......
Eric O finally got it to go up and down on command for the fella. That folks is why he’s called Dr. O
It's a good day when it goes up and down on command
Small tools on a clip for the mechanic with the `on the go lifestyle'. Priceless.
I sometimes feel I'm all alone in the world, then I see you struggle too. I feel so much better now.
Misery really does love company
no wonder i pay my mechanic top dollar, the things they have to go through just for our beloved cars ;) and i love this channel, and ive been a subscriber for ages and this is still the best by far..... the comedy while he's working is gold....
The "keyhole.... Keyholio" had me. 🤣
"I don't know about a window regulator, but we have the thing that makes the window go up and down."
Autozone parts counter guy.
True story.
For the mechanic with the on-the-go lifestyle.
I love that. I love that every time. And i've stolen it.
*sigh* I'm old enough to remember when Dorman *wasn't* crap. 😢
Same
Doorman really went out the door.
*Ba da, tis*
I just finished shaving sat down and started watching TH-cam videos. one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in a long time. when it finally ended went to the bathroom looked in a mirror my beard grew back
Gave us the shocker again. Good video, always love the extra vocabulary that you put into the videos
Not gonna lie. I find some joy in the fact that I’m guessing off camera you cuss at cars as much as the rest of us 😂😂 I know I can’t help it sometimes 😂
Yes, He let it slip by a time or 2
i dont think there's an auto shop on the face of the earth where effenheimers arent a regular part of the vocabulary.
So, there's a tee-shirt: "When I was growing up, we didn't have time-out, we had times-up".
The guy said he got it up and he got the window up also, lmao. Your videos are great but your commentary is priceless.
Came for the sense of humor and left with a lesson in physics: "friction makes heat". Damn, you ought to charge for this stuff! Thanks, as always you make great content!
Did I already mention in the past 10 years that i've been watching your video's that I really like your sense of humor Eric?
I have never seen door goo come off clean like that - EVER! Class act cleaning the window when done!
That is exactly how I expected a Ford window regulator install to go.
Hey Eric! I'm retired and 65. I started feeling aches around 50.
Just keep doing what you love and loving what you do. Thanks
About a decade ago I used polyurethane glass adhesive to reattach the plastic window tabs to the front passenger window on a 2006 Sienna. Still driving it in 2024 (396,000 kms) and the window remains connected. I live in Ontario, Canada so no gentle weather conditions either. It worked for me and would suggest it's worth a try before buying a new window.
LOL! My suction cups on a cable got so tired that now I just stick them to the bottom of the window and use them as wedges. XD
Nearly 55 minutes for a window regulator and it took me all day to watch it between interruptions! ;) That's a lot more complicated than it oughta be, but it had the right guy doin' it so it all works out!
A few years ago the rear window on my 2011 BMW 328 fell down a few inches and wouldn't roll back up right before I was about to move and drive from Colorado to the east coast. Bought a windshield phone mount and suctioned it on the window such that it kept pressure on the top of the door panel to hold it up and closed until I got where I was going. Once I got there I ordered a new regulator and was able to switch it out in about 20-30 minutes, 10 of which were spent just getting the glass to seat into the clips correctly.
Surprises me that I was able to do it in half the time of Mr. O, on a BMW, not being a mechanic.
Taking a picture has saved me on more than one occasion. Good piece of advice no matter what level diyer you are.
"I don't work on many Fords" as I watch the 1,000th video of Eric working on a Ford. 😁😁🤣🤣
When my window regulator broke I thought someone shot my truck! It was a super loud bang!!! Super simple to replace the regulator.
GM had "pull up" door panels many years ago on the GMT800 trucks. One thing i loved about my 04 suburbans.
I bet there's a lot of demand to be the guy that assembles door regulators on the assembly line! That drivers window will probably never be that clean ever again. Great job!!!
MRS is definitely the main reason I watch.
You will never know how much joy I get from watching you do anything. I think the commentary has a lot to do with it 😅 thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge and time.
VERY GOOD one liner , Love the automatic running boards when they pop out and get stuck, 👌
Love teh video's-just good old fashioned common sense and knowledge--doing stuff the right way!
Im loving all these videos 🙂
Thanks for the great content, you two. We enjoy the repartee between Eric and Mrs. O!
Such small torque wrenches. But I heard the click-click. Amazing tool assortment you have.
I hope your shoulder/pinched nerve gets better soon. I haf something similar in my left foot/ankle. Took 6 months to cut that crap out. Like I got my foot caught in an electric fence.
You sure dropped a ton of videos. Like someone mentioned, I needed a bathroom break.
Cheers Mr. O. Thanks for bringing us along!! Great video.
I used a Dorman regulator on a rear window of my Buick. It was rarely used and only lasted 10 months and suddenly failed on a cold winter morning when the window went down by itself while on the freeway! That was a freezing surprise.
Too smooth, too cool, another masterpiece, mrs O give's him a thumbs up atta boy.
Thank you mr O👌God Bless
Keep up the good work Mrs. O, messes him up every time.😂🤣🤙
Eric
Growing up I worked in my Grandfather's garage. My Dad and uncle worked there, so I would get into trouble because I would forget which tool box I got something out of. So most days one of the three would jump my butt for something. So I know your pain because my son's would do it to me. I think it get passed down from one generations to the next.
Hi Mrs O. Thanks Mr O
As far as the arm goes---- welcome to old age!😊
Sometimes with pinched nerves -- you can try stretching routines to "loosen" that area up. I can tell you from experience-- getting old sucks! But it still beats the alternative!😊
It's the entire kit as well as the caboodle! 😮
Thank you, Eric for the video really educational. It looks like it went well Thank you again
I love those wera kits, I work as an industrial mechanic and they're great when you're crawling all over a factory
Good job Eric, you do the whole pacage not a part of a car you aren't able to fix! And you always do your best to put it back the way it was.
E-Man, I watched this whole video and the best part was the last 6 minutes with Mrs O! 😎
Thank you SMA
GM team SMA & thanks for the vijeau!
Mrs. O, the highlight of the video!
nice fix mister
This is your funniest video. Mrs. O brings out the comedian
I was hoping this was going to be like an Edge (remove regulator with outside door handle and latch)way to go Ford! Always great video.
I really thought you was gonna loose it Eric I've seen ya in the past but not this bad.. good on you for in keeping your cool your a great mechanic! 😎😎
Wow window cleaning service. Nice
Do I feel a new Channel coming on??? Eric & Vanessa's Literary Corner - brought to by the word of the day! Gee-Willikers!!!
Welcome to my life. I know the pain your going through. I have it 24/7 with my disability. Hang in there love your content.😅
Thanks for the video Mr & Mrs. O.
always enjoy your videos. Informative and sometimes humorous. He got it up, then he got the window up.😁
Respect to you and Mrs O. You guys warm my heart :-)
47 years in the coal industry, I feel your pain! Love the details that you do to make everything like a factory install. Keep up the great work!
See tools in the car like that reminds me of my repair in the 80s. I always kept a couple tools in the door like that, just in case. Once a week or so after having car repaired, I was cleaning it. Found 3 small Snap-On wrenches in with my tools. I knew they weren't mine, as I only got Craftsman back then. I went back to repair shop(small shop) and found guy who worked on my car. He was very happy that I brought them back. He'd been looking for days. Wasn't sure where they were. He was so happy, gave me free oil & filter change next time in.
I learn so much from your videos. Physics lesson of the day “Friction makes heat.” Who knew? 😀 I’ve been burnt by that myself!
As my grandfather always said. " Getting old sucks. But the alternative is unacceptable! "
Unacceptable? It's inevitable. But, if things go like they "should", you get old first.
Those window regulators are fun, fun, fun!! Not hard, but time consuming.
Anywheres, Somewheres, Acrossed, Alls
I hope you get a lot of money for dealing with a mess like this Eric. What a PITA.
Yeah its true Eric we like to look at her ! you lucky dog !
Now that’s a real man window regulator 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Mother of Pearl!!
Love the jabber.
I spent about 25 years doing auto glass replacement starting 1976. I feel your pain!🤣
Been awhile since we’ve seen the “on the go lifestyle” kit. I have not had an on the go lifestyle since the early ‘90’s but I might buy one anyway because it’s kinda cool. PITA job but your commentary was the best ever. All the best to you and yours.
Goes up pretty good now even though it is cold.
I remember back in the mid 80s, I cut my teeth...and my hands on GM window regulators. Seat belts in the doors. 2 piece door panels made of fiberboard with about 72 christmas tree fasteners holding them on. Window regulators riveted to the doors with steel rivets. Hard to drill out because they would spin. You didn't replace those regulators You had to fix them. They were a bent channel shaped like some chineese symbol. Because the seatbelts were part of the door, the inside of the door shell had only a few small access points that your hand would ALMOST fit thru. and the regulator would only fit one certain way in and out. They had a plastic tape inside that looked like train tracks that you had to replace. I still have bad dreams about them.
If anyone took those doors apart after me, they knew I was there, My swear words were still echoing inside the door shell.
The ending was priceless 😂😂
I did a few of those over the years. Still wrenching since 1984
It's nice to know I'm in good company with my pains, burns and cuts. Thanks for all your good work.
Hi Eric like the comment below i am 72 been spannering since i was 15 , my eyes started going first then a right shoulder operation to clean out the crusty bits then one knee replaced then the next knee replaced so retire early and go fishing or something else .so be warned 50 to 70 you will start falling apart . cold floors, rusty bolts, getting wet all takes it toll. love your videos.
Thanks for another great learning experience.
Nice work Eric, you are a great person…love your videos…
I have a 65 Chevelle hardtop and the door glass has bolts that go through the glass with nylon grommets and threaded washers! Scarey! but they work!
Lol I like how you advertise the wera tool kit
Nice ! Monday video to start the week off right!
Luv me sum SMA video❤
Glad to see the problems I have with these (as a home wrench) are fairly universal. As I was watching I was thinking the only difference with a pro is there is no blood. Then there was blood.
Mr O good video I needed a laugh this morning. Thanks
Hi Eric, I remember reachin inside a door and bringing out a bloody mess! So I don't blame ya for not wanting to!!🚑🚑🚑
92 chevy s10. I was 22. Had to upgrade my stereo. So much blood.
doors are such a pain and with all the 50 switches on driver's door it is crazy, I like that cool looking reinforcing beam on outside of door now you won't dent the door bumping it closed with your but LOL
Mr O Minor damage often happens during contact sports, such as football or wrestling, when the brachial plexus nerves get stretched or squeezed together. These are called stingers or burners. Some of the symptoms are: A feeling like an electric shock or a burning sensation shooting down the arm.
“When we’re the first one in that always makes me feel good” 😂😂
