      Dunno if she thinks she is lucky or not. I can fix most things, so we rarely have to replace things with new. Her dad never could repair anything....but always drove a new car !!

    I had a diesel VW Rabbit I put over 250,000 miles on before trading it in. The window track on the bottom of the windows had a problem. They would either rust out over time or just come unglued. I loved that little car though, got 50 miles to the gallon on the highway. Enjoyed your video and agree the Germans know how to design cars.

    Nice job PAWPAW... doing a job like that on my end of the stick is always a pain in the butt... LOL. You tackled it much better than I could have- plus with more patience!!!

    Good job you did there! Window motors and regulators can be a real pain sometimes like you said! One of my least favorite jobs to do on a vehicle. You would think they would make access a little easier and hope don't have big hands LoL! Have a Blessed Day!

      PawPaw, you can tackle that problem by telling him or her that it is a classic beetle, in that case he/she wouldn't notice the radiator :P

    Great job both on fixing the window and the video. Speaking "Mechanic" LOL been there, done that. A little touch up paint will make that car all yellow again.

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am trying to decide if I want to take this yellow piece off the panel and try to swap it or just break down and spend $30 on a can of spray paint for the exact match and paint the red one.

    • @tomtruesdale6901
      @tomtruesdale6901 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Carry the door panel down to your local auto parts store and see if they can color match it, should not cost more then a couple bucks for some paint.

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      $30 for a pint.

    • @tomtruesdale6901
      @tomtruesdale6901 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dang that stuff made of gold? I was thinking you could find some Duplicolor or some other rattle can to match. At $30 a pint I think the Bride could live with it red. ;-)

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The paint used on the outside was $300 for the gallon !! DB2..................$109 per pint !

    You skipped over the part I was looking for - How did you get the window up so the screws could be loosened?
    Any chance there is video on that?

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When you remove the metal panel, the window is exposed and you simply lift it up. You can use duct tape to hold it while you position the rollers in the window track.

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is extremely easy to do and self explanatory when you get into it.

    • @thehouseinspector
      @thehouseinspector 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      DoingItCheap I can’t remove the metal panel because I can’t loosen the window clamp screws. I don’t have enough window sticking up to grab onto. Any suggestions?

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should not have to raise the window. Mine had fallen and I did not raise it until after I pulled the panel.

    Good job paw paw its true unfortunately German engineering has always surpassed American engineering. Our most sophisticated weaponry we have today has all came from German engineering in some ways its just shameful. Hope you have a great day too paw paw ypur the best.

    how do you cook your boiled eggs

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      In a pot of cold water....bring water and eggs to a rolling boil for one and a half minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pot. 15 minutes later run cold water over them to cool. When you boil eggs, if you have a green layer around the yellow, you are overcooking them.
