I have a power window that doesn't work at all, the switch on the door doesn't move it up or down and the switch on the driver door doesn't move it up or down. Can I move the window down once I get the door panel off?
Just replaced my window regulator assembly today. Went to AutoZone bought it for $70. Took about 1 hour but this was the first car maintenance repair i have ever performed by myself. Thanks Again Scotty!
I just replaced the window regulator on my daughter's car! A few things different from the car you worked on but got it done! I am close to scottys age and a grandma!
I don't even know how I discovered you or what I clicked on but I've been subscribed to your TH-cam channel for over a year and I've learned a lot from you thank you Scotty you are amazing
watched it 3 times and just finished my 2002 Accord front drivers side. Everything went well....except it appears the speaker now only has 3 screws holding it in. I think I'll live with it. I'm not much of a mechanic but this site has saved me hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in recent years.
I originally clicked on your channel because of fond memories of Kilmer's IGA, in Rhinebeck, NY. So funny that you're doing this on the same car that I'm working on lol! You're the best! EDIT: Never buy an aftermarket regulator. Less than a year and it's loose and sending my window outside of the frame. Lesson learned.
Thank you Scotty! I had to do this today. Your video helped! I tested the window before I put everything back together like you suggested. The window was not in the track properly so it would not go all the way up. I put it in the track properly and then it worked. Good thing I checked!
Scotty, just a tip: whem you plug the switch in, raise the regulator to line up to the two holes in the door. You can get right on the window bolts with your socket and extension. You don't have to reach around to the inside of the door.
This is my exact car, lol. 01 Accord 317k miles. I'm watching this in 2023 and getting inspired for a weekend project. Both my driver side and passenger window seems to be off track but I won't know until I look. I know it's gonna take me at least a few hours. It might end up being both the first and last time I ever have to do it, so I have no delusions of a quick repair. Thanks Scotty!
Sweet video. One trick I learned is when you get the window to the run, connect the window controls to bring it up. I noticed that there are holes on the panel that line up so it can be bolted on easier. Kudos Scotty.
Very big help as usual! My jeep window motor just broke today is held together with duct tape right now lol but not for long after watching this video. I already had an idea of what I had to do but now I get the big picture. Thanks!!!
Before you do any buying take the panel off and have a look.! I just repaired my vw .when I took the panel off I could see the plastic dowel through the glass connecting it to the whole regulator gizmo, had worked its way out .popped it back in and hey presto working perfectly.
I'm hoping that's the case with my 03 MK4 Golf. Window was frozen from the cold and it stayed up while the regulator is still doing it's thing. It's 11`F outside. I'm hoping I didn't break'em, or worse the cable.
Well Scott, I must say. Watching your video was more informative than most others I've watched so far. Most of those produced by Auto Companies usually end up telling you it's too hard for a DIY person & to give them a call and let them do the work for $$$. Now one minor critique, your demonstration was like trying to keep up with a roadrunner. Beep Beep ! I realize we all have our own particular personalities and I wouldn't dare imply you should change. Thanks for the Demo !
MJ exactly...I wonder where these folks that get this done "in less than hour" get their time keeping equipment from. They must be some SLOW watches. The job starts when the car is pulled in the shop and its done when the mess is cleaned up ready for the next repair!
😂 I did mine about 2 weeks ago. Got it working so i could at least close it so rain doesn’t get in but it wasn’t smooth so I disconnected the motor to protect it from burning out until I have time to try again. I need a hand to help hold that glass in place to line it up better. Professionals make it look so easy 😂
exactly, that's y i ESPECIALLY don't believe it when i read it's a WOMAN that did it herself. because he's really putting the regulator in blindly. you don't know if it's supposed to be sitting on something or not.

Of course not every car is exactly the same, but this video gave me a general idea of what to do. I was able to complete the project in about an hour or so and saved myself a lot of money. Thanks.
You're awesome - What a great video - just fixed the window on my Dodge Ram in less than 30 min. There were no bolts holding the glass, but it was merely held there by a pair of clips... I cleaned the glass then slipped it back into the clips - good as new!
Wow ur such an amazing mechanic. I'd rather fix it myself then to pay a Mechanic to fix it cuz sometimes they don't always fix it right but I don't know anything about fixing cars so you make it easy for me when you makes videos to show people how to do it on their own and you are very amazing at explaining how to do things so I'm learning because your videos are very helpful thank you so much my thinking window fell off the track right side doors you are an amazing mechanic seriously
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! This helped me diagnose why my window kept falling down, I have a 97 Accord SE 242k and the heater isn't working but I also have this problem as well.

Scotty, I have a 2008 Honda CRX. The other day I went to put the power driver's side window up. I heard a sound like something snapped, then the window fell down most of the way and stopped. I grabbed hold of it with both hands and could move it up and down. It moved almost without resistance. I held it in place half way down and tried to see if making the switch go up would engage the window. No luck. I pushed the window up and wedged it in place till I got home and tried again to see if the window would engage, again no luck. I then used some clear packing tape to keep it in place till repairs could be affected. I could hear the motor working easily in both up and down switch positions. Have you ever heard of the two screws at the bottom of the window working themselves loose? If not is there anything that a little JB Weld could fix? Thanks for your well filmed and clear sounding videos? I just noticed that you have a live Sat program. I hope to see it soon. Thanks, Frank in NC
Thanks for the tips Scotty! Same thing happened to my '93 Infiniti J30 driver window. I dodged a bullet by finding a replacement regulator for $50 instead of the $250 + mark up. haha
That Accord looks a lot easier than my 2002 Cavalier was. The brain surgeons at GM used pop rivets to attach the regulator to the door instead of bolts. Took some ingenuity and four letter words to make that repair.
You can replace them with cheap screws from Home Depot or something; you don't have to put rivets back. Ford does the same crap too, so you're not alone...
I've had this happen before, but mainly just because the glass fell off the assembly and was easily slapped back in place. yet another reason to keep sure your seals are good and clean so water and junk doesn't get in there and destroy your door from the inside out. good tips Scotty!
Needed this video a few months back haha learn by doing is always fun although frustrating. However I didn’t take the glass out. I just taped it to the top of the door to hold it in place.
Great video Scotty. There are access holes for the bolts. Especially on those Honda's. You may have to move the window up or down (manually on old one)
Think I can do this. Thanks. I notice that you also replaced the motor. Is it hard to remove the motor from the regulator? And then to attach the new regulator?
Hey Scotty, I just bought a 1995 civic esi. There is cracking noise when i steer full right and knocking noise at front side wheel when hitting even on a slightly bumpy road. I dont know it it's the something called CV joint or maybe steering issues or something. You are the one who actively answer questions on youtube. What shall I do? I want to fix it myself and save money for some other important replacement parts.
01 Buick LeSabre runs like a charm except the power windows have been replaced 3 times already. Just made cheaply, but at the time they were "quiet" windows
a bit of advice. when re bolting the windown back in place slide the window down on to the rest. and like you did turn the key on and bring the widow up untill the 2 holes in the door line up with what ur working with. as you see at 3:06 the bolts fly by! hope this helps!
As usual, good job in the very educational video! :) This is too much work for most people in the Philippines. We may get into a sticky situation if we don't get it right the first time. It only costs $25 or less to have someone do all the repairs (with parts) for us. Good auto mechanic/repairmen are everywhere in the Philippines. :) Again, I love watching your channel. Very educational, at least I would somewhat understand what the repairmen are saying when they explain to me the process. :)
Hey Scotty just an FYI if you raise the window halfway up the bolt that secure the glass to the track line up with the two holes in the door so you can use a ratchet and don't half to fight with it
I haven't done a power window before but it looks like you're right. At about 3:06 you can see Scotty testing the window and the bolts that hold the glass to the regulator pass right into view as he raises and lowers the window.
recently had this issue on my 91 corolla, ended up having to fix the regulator as a replacement was over $300 plus tax here in NZ. on my one the plastic that holds the cable to the sliding section had broken, so i just placed the cable in the correct place and stuck it back together with some 2 part epoxy.

Fixed mine yesterday with the 8 dollar set of gear plugs you insert into the motor gear. Saved a bunch and the window performs as it should. Only pain was having to drill to get access to the motor bolts.
I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 160K miles on it that has never had any kind of mechanical breakdown and has run almost perfectly since I bought it .... BUT, every GOD-DAMNED thing else has gone wrong ... the headlights and tail-lights burn out regularly of course, the clock light has gone out, and the little light under the "D" for drive for the transmission indicator is out. The motors for the rear windows have both gone out twice, and this is the third regulator I have to have replaced not. I am so glad the car runs well, but these annoying little things are expensive, time consuming and a major pain in the ass. I like how you make it seem so easy. How hard it the original part to repair? Is that possible? I tried it on my own originally, but one major pain was that plastic wrap, another was could not get the window separated from the regulator ... so I just took it in. This is a very expensive repair for a part that should not fail as much as it does.
he makes it seem so simple and easy... since he has worked on thousands of cars. a regular guy who never did this before better be careful not to get hurt, to break the window, to mount the assembly wrong, or damage something taking out the old or installing the new. It is not simple or intuitive.
Thanks Scotty. My Regulator cable broke and I plan to fix it myself. Great video to get me started. Why is't this guy working for NASA. He could make flying the Shuttle look like flying a kite.
Great work Scotty! You should give lessons on how to make youtubes vids too. Now the scarey part, how much do VW want for a replacement regulator here in the United rip off of K, I wonder?
had to take the glass out and chrome off to get the mirror out to fix rust on my 87 fifth avenue.. theres lightbulbs INSIDE the door.. around the inside of the handle area.. lights up the underneath of the handle.. nice touch..
Big Chief sayums; Ringing bell more fun than fixing horse; little squaws; " Keep your eyes on the road, it will take you where you want to go." - informative vid!!!
Thank you so much this really helped me cause I don't know anything and this happened and I really didn't want to pay for someone to fix it cause I'm having money problems and this just explained it for me
hey scotty, thanks for all your videos. I have saved tons of money thanks to them. I have a 2002 ford crown victoria with a standard open differential. is it possible to get a limited slip differential or a kit to make the differential limited slip? normally i would leave it alone, but we had a very snowy winter here in NJ
Hi Mr. I have problems with my 06 Honda odyssey I have problem with cylinder 1 but I change the coile and spark plugs but I still get the same problem cylinder one misfire
Fixed my back window using the same principle. THANK YOU! I have a question: My passenger front window has started to "slow" on rising. If I let it down a few inches, it'll go back up just fine. But if I let it down halfway, it'll "slowly" creep up and stop within four inches of the top. Over a period of 15-20 minutes, I can inch it up. (The motor sounds pitiful to have exert such an effort.) Is that a bad motor or assembly? I'm thinking the tension spring in the assembly, but if I need the whole shebang, I'll order the kit. Just trying to save $$$ on this poor little 99 Toyota Camry. (She's been a good car, though.) Thank you in advance! Trish
The biggest difference between power windows and the old crank ones is that the latter usually lasted the life of the car while power windows seem to be designed to fail.
Yeah, I remember when this happened to my 1997 Crown Vic I used to have. My mom was rolling the window down one day and CRUNCH!!!...busted. Thankfully one of the LDS missionaries that I'd been helping out with tracting knew how to work on cars and was able to find the problem and prop up the window with a board. Turned out that the cable got tangled in the motor and ended up shredding itself!
Great video Scotty!! I have a window that doesn't roll all the way up. I have to grab the window while pushing the button that rolls the window up. Will this video help to fix that problem? What should I do?
Hi Scotty, My driver side power window won't work anymore. After it broke, It used to make a noise when I pressed the power window buttons but now it doesn't make any noise at all. Does that mean the power window motor is damaged too?
I actually fixed it , not replaced . I replaced plastic parts that broken with self-made brass ones , fixed them with steel wire , rewinded cable and put it all back in place . Only problem was that cable pulley was not held by sreews , but by rivets . That is how I maintain car with no budget .
sure, it can be done. But you must not be an American, cause we don't have the time or energy to do that. We just throw the crap away and put another one back on. Keeps the economy rolling
You live differetnly . My house in made in 1978 , out of solid bricks . My grandfathet's house is almost as old as he is , it is made buy his father out of wood from his forest and clay from his well . Youngest car in my familly is from year 2000 , and oldest from 1985 . We fix things as long as possible , not replace them . Even laptop on which I write is 6 years old , and I disasmbled it for at least 8 times fixing it . I am from country where Yugo was made , and you would not belive how many Yugos from period when they were exported in US and rusted away there are still on the road here . My friend about year ago paid $700 for repainting his , for that money he could get at least 10 years younger and more modern car , but he decided to keep his on the road . Imagine yourself dumping (I believe your) Stingray if it becomes pile of rust . Or you would rather remake every panel yourself ?
Mladen Milić here in America the government gives people money every month and they buy new stuff all the time..hey they don't even try to resale the old stuff they just throw it out and buy the new thing they want... what would buy if it was free ?
Mladen Milić I am American, but I say you're doing thingd the right way. Scotty's comment about throwing crap away and buy another to keep the economy rolling--I don't think it's the only way to keep the economy rolling. I truly wish I had been raised to learn to repair rather than replace. Perhaps there is still some time left for me to learn. I have two strikes against me--I'm a woman, and I'm no longer a "spring chicken" (an american idiom for "young"), but hopefully I can go on TH-cam and learn from people like you, who are much smarter and economical than we Americans are. Frankly, if everyone knew how to repair things and keep them going, we wouldn't have the economic exploitation that we do, and no one would be truly "poor." Thank you SO MUCH for posting.
Question Scotty, My 97 firebird started making a squeaking noise from the front passenger side wheel. Only when I'm driving up to 35mph and over it squeaks constant. When I'm driving and tap the brakes it goes away. I installed new calipers and pads. The rest is original.
Thanks. its usefull. my car's window fell down when I slammed the door hardly. I opened the checked. glass is free from rail. is it broken? need full replacement? I did't fixed till since this is weekend. thanks

Scottie I got a 1999 tahoe with the window track bent same kind of fix if I change out the regulator
I have a power window that doesn't work at all, the switch on the door doesn't move it up or down and the switch on the driver door doesn't move it up or down. Can I move the window down once I get the door panel off?
I know it's pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Caden Tate i watch on flixzone. Just google for it =)
you've become one of my favorite you tubers to watch, even though I don't have car troubles. very informative for a young one looking to learn
Same
Just replaced my window regulator assembly today. Went to AutoZone bought it for $70. Took about 1 hour but this was the first car maintenance repair i have ever performed by myself. Thanks Again Scotty!
I just replaced the window regulator on my daughter's car! A few things different from the car you worked on but got it done! I am close to scottys age and a grandma!
Go grandma!!!
cuddlesanddaisy Amen, Grandma! So proud of you!!!
😁😁😁
Just take time people so in a rush I fix’s mines in 5mins easy work I feel all men should know how to fix’s there own windows
I don't even know how I discovered you or what I clicked on but I've been subscribed to your TH-cam channel for over a year and I've learned a lot from you thank you Scotty you are amazing

Quick, concise & entertaining; really helpful vids here, mate! Tops channel to review for DIY work, thanks!
Of course not every car is exactly the same, but this video gave me a general idea of what to do. I was able to complete the project in about an hour or so and saved myself a lot of money. Thanks.
I wanted to thank you for this video, it saved me a butt ton of money, and my car has a manual regulator.

working on my 06 impala, drivers window. it went down never came up. Going to order parts before disassembly. cheers buddy.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! This helped me diagnose why my window kept falling down, I have a 97 Accord SE 242k and the heater isn't working but I also have this problem as well.
Good one scotty you share plenty of good knowledge you have gathered around the years. Thnx mate.
The way you rang the bell got a chuckle out of me
great info. You helped where no one else could. Thanks a bunch.
I had to do some work to my truck window that fell off. thanks for sharing another great video. I hope someday my videos are as good as yours.
Scotty, I hope you're getting paid more than just youtube commission, your videos are PRICELESS!!!
I have 150 million youtube views, that is quite a bit of money. and I'm having fun, more importantly, and helping peope out.

Thanks for the tips Scotty! Same thing happened to my '93 Infiniti J30 driver window. I dodged a bullet by finding a replacement regulator for $50 instead of the $250 + mark up. haha
You will be remembered as a hero!
You make it look so effortless, God help me
That Accord looks a lot easier than my 2002 Cavalier was. The brain surgeons at GM used pop rivets to attach the regulator to the door instead of bolts. Took some ingenuity and four letter words to make that repair.
BUT, think of the money GM saved by using rivets instead of small bolts. Gotta be at least 50 cents per car there.
You can replace them with cheap screws from Home Depot or something; you don't have to put rivets back. Ford does the same crap too, so you're not alone...
The dealer would probably just replace the whole door. LOL
you do know rivets are more secure in holding the regulator to the door, with rivets you dont have anything shaking
I've had this happen before, but mainly just because the glass fell off the assembly and was easily slapped back in place. yet another reason to keep sure your seals are good and clean so water and junk doesn't get in there and destroy your door from the inside out. good tips Scotty!
Needed this video a few months back haha learn by doing is always fun although frustrating. However I didn’t take the glass out. I just taped it to the top of the door to hold it in place.
wow I just did the exact same job on my car yesterday, today i look in the subscription box and there it is, craazy.
Great video Scotty. There are access holes for the bolts. Especially on those Honda's. You may have to move the window up or down (manually on old one)
Think I can do this. Thanks. I notice that you also replaced the motor. Is it hard to remove the motor from the regulator? And then to attach the new regulator?
Hey Scotty, I just bought a 1995 civic esi. There is cracking noise when i steer full right and knocking noise at front side wheel when hitting even on a slightly bumpy road. I dont know it it's the something called CV joint or maybe steering issues or something. You are the one who actively answer questions on youtube. What shall I do? I want to fix it myself and save money for some other important replacement parts.
I really like your channel. It helps me more than you could know. Thanks again.
As always, GREAT video Scotty--THANKS AGAIN!
01 Buick LeSabre runs like a charm except the power windows have been replaced 3 times already. Just made cheaply, but at the time they were "quiet" windows
Ring that bell Scotty!
a bit of advice. when re bolting the windown back in place slide the window down on to the rest. and like you did turn the key on and bring the widow up untill the 2 holes in the door line up with what ur working with. as you see at 3:06 the bolts fly by! hope this helps!
Scotty along with the quick video edits make it look fun and easy. But that really looks like a pain in the ass unlatching and unscrewing everything.
As usual, good job in the very educational video! :) This is too much work for most people in the Philippines. We may get into a sticky situation if we don't get it right the first time.
It only costs $25 or less to have someone do all the repairs (with parts) for us. Good auto mechanic/repairmen are everywhere in the Philippines. :)
Again, I love watching your channel. Very educational, at least I would somewhat understand what the repairmen are saying when they explain to me the process. :)
Hey Scotty just an FYI if you raise the window halfway up the bolt that secure the glass to the track line up with the two holes in the door so you can use a ratchet and don't half to fight with it
I haven't done a power window before but it looks like you're right. At about 3:06 you can see Scotty testing the window and the bolts that hold the glass to the regulator pass right into view as he raises and lowers the window.
yep that's what i usually do roll the window down half way where there is an opening in the metal part of the door.
Thanks a lot scotty by teach us how to fix our car!!!!
Well done Scotty!
recently had this issue on my 91 corolla, ended up having to fix the regulator as a replacement was over $300 plus tax here in NZ.
on my one the plastic that holds the cable to the sliding section had broken, so i just placed the cable in the correct place and stuck it back together with some 2 part epoxy.
thx for editing this .
This guy is awesome. Love the channel
I have a 2012 Kia Soul with the same exact problem, I'm volunteering my car to be used in your next video. I'm completely challenged on this one....
Great video as always, thanks Scotty!
He makes that look easy. good video
scotty kilmer youre the best man %100
That just saved me a lot of money thanks a bunch
You really did a great job. Thanks so much . Best I have seen.
Scotty...you are a GOD - THANK YOU!
awesome tutorial. very straight forward. thanks Scotty

Fixed mine yesterday with the 8 dollar set of gear plugs you insert into the motor gear. Saved a bunch and the window performs as it should. Only pain was having to drill to get access to the motor bolts.
I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 160K miles on it that has never had any kind of mechanical breakdown and has run almost perfectly since I bought it ....
BUT, every GOD-DAMNED thing else has gone wrong ... the headlights and tail-lights burn out regularly of course, the clock light has gone out, and the little light under the "D" for drive for the transmission indicator is out. The motors for the rear windows have both gone out twice, and this is the third regulator I have to have replaced not.
I am so glad the car runs well, but these annoying little things are expensive, time consuming and a major pain in the ass.
I like how you make it seem so easy. How hard it the original part to repair? Is that possible?
I tried it on my own originally, but one major pain was that plastic wrap, another was could not get the window separated from the regulator ... so I just took it in. This is a very expensive repair for a part that should not fail as much as it does.
Scotty - you are the best
he makes it seem so simple and easy... since he has worked on thousands of cars. a regular guy who never did this before better be careful not to get hurt, to break the window, to mount the assembly wrong, or damage something taking out the old or installing the new. It is not simple or intuitive.
Thanks Scotty. My Regulator cable broke and I plan to fix it myself. Great video to get me started. Why is't this guy working for NASA. He could make flying the Shuttle look like flying a kite.
Great work Scotty! You should give lessons on how to make youtubes vids too. Now the scarey part, how much do VW want for a replacement regulator here in the United rip off of K, I wonder?
had to take the glass out and chrome off to get the mirror out to fix rust on my 87 fifth avenue.. theres lightbulbs INSIDE the door.. around the inside of the handle area.. lights up the underneath of the handle.. nice touch..

- informative vid!!!
Thank you so much this really helped me cause I don't know anything and this happened and I really didn't want to pay for someone to fix it cause I'm having money problems and this just explained it for me
hey scotty, thanks for all your videos. I have saved tons of money thanks to them. I have a 2002 ford crown victoria with a standard open differential. is it possible to get a limited slip differential or a kit to make the differential limited slip? normally i would leave it alone, but we had a very snowy winter here in NJ
anything's possible. Contact some junk yards and see what they've done in the past, they're always trying that kind of stuff and know what would fit
Worked like a charm. Thank you.
SCOTTY. I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ha Haaaa, Guys Brilliant - quick and no messing...subscribing now!!
Hi Mr. I have problems with my 06 Honda odyssey I have problem with cylinder 1 but I change the coile and spark plugs but I still get the same problem cylinder one misfire
Fixed my back window using the same principle. THANK YOU!
I have a question: My passenger front window has started to "slow" on rising. If I let it down a few inches, it'll go back up just fine. But if I let it down halfway, it'll "slowly" creep up and stop within four inches of the top. Over a period of 15-20 minutes, I can inch it up. (The motor sounds pitiful to have exert such an effort.)
Is that a bad motor or assembly? I'm thinking the tension spring in the assembly, but if I need the whole shebang, I'll order the kit. Just trying to save $$$ on this poor little 99 Toyota Camry. (She's been a good car, though.)
Thank you in advance!
Trish
Trish Jaggers No one answered you!!! 😣😣😣 That was a great question!
The biggest difference between power windows and the old crank ones is that the latter usually lasted the life of the car while power windows seem to be designed to fail.
Yeah, I remember when this happened to my 1997 Crown Vic I used to have. My mom was rolling the window down one day and CRUNCH!!!...busted. Thankfully one of the LDS missionaries that I'd been helping out with tracting knew how to work on cars and was able to find the problem and prop up the window with a board. Turned out that the cable got tangled in the motor and ended up shredding itself!
Great video Scotty!! I have a window that doesn't roll all the way up. I have to grab the window while pushing the button that rolls the window up. Will this video help to fix that problem? What should I do?
sure, and I would say it's a bad window regulator in your case
Scotty Kilmer What would you suggest doing in the meantime before the parts comes in to keep your window up so somebody doesn't steal your car?
+ThankfulServant probably too late now...but small door wedge is good
You the man scooty
Hi Scotty,
My driver side power window won't work anymore. After it broke, It used to make a noise when I pressed the power window buttons but now it doesn't make any noise at all. Does that mean the power window motor is damaged too?
That Vette is sure running RICH
I actually fixed it , not replaced . I replaced plastic parts that broken with self-made brass ones , fixed them with steel wire , rewinded cable and put it all back in place . Only problem was that cable pulley was not held by sreews , but by rivets . That is how I maintain car with no budget .
sure, it can be done. But you must not be an American, cause we don't have the time or energy to do that. We just throw the crap away and put another one back on. Keeps the economy rolling
You live differetnly . My house in made in 1978 , out of solid bricks . My grandfathet's house is almost as old as he is , it is made buy his father out of wood from his forest and clay from his well . Youngest car in my familly is from year 2000 , and oldest from 1985 . We fix things as long as possible , not replace them . Even laptop on which I write is 6 years old , and I disasmbled it for at least 8 times fixing it . I am from country where Yugo was made , and you would not belive how many Yugos from period when they were exported in US and rusted away there are still on the road here . My friend about year ago paid $700 for repainting his , for that money he could get at least 10 years younger and more modern car , but he decided to keep his on the road . Imagine yourself dumping (I believe your) Stingray if it becomes pile of rust . Or you would rather remake every panel yourself ?
Mladen Milić here in America the government gives people money every month and they buy new stuff all the time..hey they don't even try to resale the old stuff they just throw it out and buy the new thing they want...
what would buy if it was free ?
Mladen Milić I am American, but I say you're doing thingd the right way. Scotty's comment about throwing crap away and buy another to keep the economy rolling--I don't think it's the only way to keep the economy rolling. I truly wish I had been raised to learn to repair rather than replace. Perhaps there is still some time left for me to learn. I have two strikes against me--I'm a woman, and I'm no longer a "spring chicken" (an american idiom for "young"), but hopefully I can go on TH-cam and learn from people like you, who are much smarter and economical than we Americans are. Frankly, if everyone knew how to repair things and keep them going, we wouldn't have the economic exploitation that we do, and no one would be truly "poor." Thank you SO MUCH for posting.
@@Psalm_27.4 he is a mechanic, what can you expect from him ! 😂😂😂
You the man Scotty!!!
Question Scotty, My 97 firebird started making a squeaking noise from the front passenger side wheel. Only when I'm driving up to 35mph and over it squeaks constant. When I'm driving and tap the brakes it goes away. I installed new calipers and pads. The rest is original.
Thanks. its usefull. my car's window fell down when I slammed the door hardly. I opened the checked. glass is free from rail. is it broken? need full replacement? I did't fixed till since this is weekend. thanks
you'd need a new regulator assembly at the least, sometimes motors can be reused
Thanks. motor is running. will check tomorrow .
Thanks Scotty always helpful
really helpful I have a 2004 chevy impala and step by step easy thanks
