I think GM is better
@@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache What? You gotta lotta splainin' to do, Lucy....
Scotty Kilmer you saved that buy big bucks doing this job
Yeah that's what it's come to Ur the best
"I used a piece of leaf." Way cheaper then a piece of masking tape. Thanx for the new trick Scotty!
I edited this comment after 24 hours so the replies that people leave on this comment don’t make sense
I said it in my head even
I heard RUB up your engine.
New intro not as good.
That was a while ago. Scotty has a new opening theme.
He is using both the themes. The video which was posted prior to this one used the old theme.
RIP to "Rev up your engines.".... again!
Old one a best, Scotty saying saying “Rev up your engines” and he would rev up his motorcycle (years ago)
Honestly, I don't miss it....in fact, I"d always fast-forward through it
It was the part I always looked forward to when starting his videos
Thanks for showing me this, my window legit fell down last night while I tried to roll it down while driving home.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache you’re on every fuckin yter I’m subscribed to
The cable probably broke
A lot of screwing in this video 👌👌👌👌👌
Lol pee wees play house.😄😄🤠🤠
I had to do this to my element a couple years ago. I'm not someone who works on cars regularly but I found it to be a fairly easy job with the only exception being at the end where a second person would have been handy to hold the assembly up.
Yep, I've done this repair more than once. Brings back memories.
Element: Go easy on me Scotty. First time.
Scotty: Pfft! Not a chance.
😉
A failed window actuator on a Honda Element. Imagine that!.
Surprised he didn't give us a lecture about Honda's high quality and how rare it is for him to be doing this repair on a honda
Considering I never had to change out the ones on my 1990 F-150 with 453,000 on the clock.I find that kinda unusual on the Honda.
My driver side went out. Replaced it. 2 months later the passenger side went out, had to replace that too. Was much easier the second time but I broke a few door tabs.
The worst part is that it's pretty much the same complicated process on every make to change that part
I have 1 drivers, and one passenger in less than a year. Window stay up unless it's a emergency. Terrible design.
You are the clicbait king
Thanks for sharing your car knowledge Scotty !
Element Owners represent!! 🙌
Looks like a miserable job, u made it look easy.
RIP Rev up your engines
He's converting to EV
As always, short and to the point! Good 'ol South Texas mechanic! Like the new intro Scotty.......
I would have titled this video “Fixed this car using a tree leaf!”
Snap-On probably makes an outrageously expensive tool to keep the bolt from slipping off the socket. A free leaf is better!
A magnetic insert socket is what I used, but the tree leaf is better.
and free.
I've used a piece of paper towel too.
Yeah it's an old trick can use anything that works as a shim. Tape, paper, toothpick, whatever works. In this case a leaf.
People owning a Renault know the feeling of dropping windows...
Or MK4 Jetta, Golf, beetle. That damn door lock module.
And Chrysler.. had to change mine out twice before unloading it
My Ford Focus has it
Don’t forget early 2000s Chevy
I notice he edits out when he's struggling with something.....lol
I wanna hear the swearing, learn new words :(
Make a video of Scotty's Bloopers 😃
IDK he just edits a lot. But he left in a lot of struggling.
I own an Element. I wouldn't want to fully publish my repairing exploits either.
Because he wings it. No scripts
I think you forgot to put that wire retainer clip back in, that you removed at @2:25. 😦
I think you are right ! !
Shhhh, don't speak to loudly.
he actually took off 3 wire clips and only put 1 back in.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. Now that wire is going to rattle. I hate when my car needs door work. I especially hate when the dashboard has to come apart.
Idk why I was expecting lambo hinges. 😐
I hit the like button before the video started.
'Forget trying to repair these things'. Had a Civic with manual windows and parked it for 3 weeks at the Buffalo airport. Went to pay and the window crank was frozen but silly me I forced it a bit. I had to drive back home 2 hours with the window down in sub zero temperatures. Mechanic 'fixes' it and it fails in short time. He fixes it a second time and it fails again. Fixes it a third time replacing the mechanics that time. So, 3 trips for repairs and bills me for two of them which is of course more money than doing it right the first time. I hate walking into shops where there is no one over 40 working there.
I am in the auto glass replacement industry and the 1st thing I check when replacing a broken door glass is if the regulator is also damaged or broken. Better to do it right the 1st time and be done
I am 47 by the way😁
@@Cmobley_ 👊
I bet there was a lot of bad language in the cuts. Lol! Mad respect! You are an awesome mechanic!
i usually take pictures as I disassemble so that I know how to reassemble it in the proper order
Nice work scotty. Real smart man
Scotty "Easier Said than Done" Kilmer 😂👍🏻
Do you ever take stuff apart and put it back together and have extra parts left over? It happends to me all the time.
That's why some guys work on one brand only -- after a while, you have enough left-over parts to build a car for yourself for free. (Apologies to Johnny Cash!)
Do not loose what you cannot tight.
I would have used the "F" word no less than 46 times before getting a job like this done.
Hi Scotty can't wait for the app
Not an easy job, saw you break'n a sweat Scotty!
I just performed this job on my 2003 Element which has 245,900 miles. Scotty, you saved me $340 by making this video! Thank you! Mine was the passenger side, and the window just fell in. I replaced mine with a Dorman regulator.
I'd hate to have a side impact in that thing. This is why I pay people like Scotty to things I don't want to.
Tools needed to complete this job: pick, screw driver, socket, ratchet and a leaf from the ground. 😂
According to Scotty, there's a lot of *stupid* parts on that Element.
That element is a better car than his celica. He should appreciate working on a quality automobile.
I love my honda element i have done a lot to keep her going I am at 171 odd miles keep the honda element videos goin scotty
Way to go Karl. I have a 2003 with 132k. Never an issue. Boring but its bulletproof.
@Scotty Kilmer. So what did I learn Scotty? Video what I'm doing and talk through what I'm doing. Hire someone to video me so that I can work a bit faster. And it doesn't hurt to grumble about stupid plastic parts. That will help me not forget to do something.
Again, thanks for the videos and information.
5:07, TADAAA!! 😂
Ken Lee 😂💀
Yes
Thank G-d for the hand crank windows in my 2005 Tacoma!
These are customers who enter a drive thru then have open the door to order and pick up items. Wish those people would watch Scotty's videos.
Your a awesome mechanic scotty🐺🐺🐺
Nice video, but I miss the rev up your engines!
I love to work on cars but I loathe working on the inside of doors. The tangs bust, the wires gets tangled, ya lose parts that fall inside the door, you get cuts on your arms from reaching in the holes, that sticky stuff gets on you. UGH!
“It’s always fun wiggling them in and out!” 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Must not be Mechanics Monday that’s for sure!
I've found this type of repair to be very difficult and this video gave me anxiety.
For a second I thought the thumbnail was Elton John.
forgot to test the speaker.
As an auto glass installer of 17 years I approve this video, the only thing I see he did wrong was not cuss lol
Japanese cars are overrated
I never saw you reinstall the arm to the interior door handle...did you get stuck inside the car?
Scotty: “ I can’t believe I did this to a toilet”
proceed to flush the toilet 🤣🤣🤣
😃👍 yay Honda Element all wheel drive 😘
No one can ever label Scotty a "slouch on the couch". Hands on, ever ready. "A discerner and and ever learner".
Inspiration through perspiration. I adore this hombre.
did it once on my civic (Canadian) to replace a broken window and had almost to wear insemination gloves because of the rust proofing grease inside the door panel!
Scotty, love your new opening theme and also a big fan of the Rev up your engines theme. Please use both of them alternately.
If we sign up for new app. Will you please use old intro. Rev up your engines!
Gee, I thought Viagra would have worked!
Honda door panels have been this way for years too. Easy as pie to take off and get to anything behind the panel
Lol "dont bother repair" I' ve cleaned the internals of a non
working window motor with carb cleaner. 3 out 4 times it worked!
Scotty, how long did this process take if you were not doing the video? Just curious to understand the labor time. Looks like time to clean the tape residue on the window.
i was waiting for the “ i cant believe” part Scotty! What the heck?! 🤷🏻♂️
Thumbs down for this one 👎🏾
You can't believe you fixed your customers window?
I have the same issue with my Element but it's the passenger door. I'm not going to attempt this. Too much to take apart
Take your time, and it is easy.
@@stephenarling1667 I'm afraid I will break something in there taking it apart or putting it back together.
What an unnecessary pain in the behind power windows are. Power locks too.
I own a Honda Element and I had to replace the drivers side window regulator a week after I bought the car, it's a very common failure on these cars. Luckily it's easy to replace as Scotty has demonstrated!
I just got rid of a 2006 element that we've had since it was new. The air conditioning stopped working a few summers ago so I just drove it with the windows open but the window regulator never failed the entire time I had it.
Dang that residue on the glass
Scotty clean that I’m a clean freak by the way.
2008 Element. I had to replace both sides a year apart.
My neighbor friends just got a 07 element how is your running and how many miles if you dont mind me asking. I help with their mantience and small repairs.
Seems to be a common issue with Honda's. Good thing the assembly is easy to aquire.
Same here. Windows stay up. Dumb design.
And THAT is why I am happy to pay my excellent mechanic to do this…
Am I the only one who saw a turbo in the miniature and got disappointed?
I'm sure there was a lot of swearing edited out lol
Have 2 Elements 06 and a 08 runs beautifully! Easy to maintain and run forever.
You must have an even temper Scotty. That kinda work drives me nuts.
Kind of makes me long for the days of a simple manual crank.
Scotty should buy old Volvo 745 gl -88 and be happy
When it comes to fixing this car, Scotty is in his Element.
Love it!!😏😆💖
Eye see what you did there..
Aren’t most things concerning car work easier said than done?
Wow I like my 67 mustang. It’s motor never goes out. 💪
WHERE ARE MY REVVVVVVS?
GOOONNNE!!!
Rev up ur windows!
Good job Scotty.
Hi Scotty! Really enjoy your videos. I have owned 3 Toyota and 3 Honda vehicles. I have a 2005 Honda Element EX AWD with Automatic Transmission. Purchased new and now have 141,000 miles. Never had a problem with the windows or window motors. Still have original starter, alternator, fuel pump, water pump, oil pump, fuel injectors, muffler, A/C components. AC blows cold air and Radio still perfect. Changed tires, battery and fluids/filters. regularly. Replaced spark plugs and all brake pads and rear struts at 95k miles. Now I need front struts and lower control arms replaced. Very impressed with the utility and reliability and love the interior too.
When is Honda going to bring back the element!
The window lifters failing and the windshields cracking are really the only two common problems with Elements. Otherwise they're like Toyota reliable (especially with a manual like mine). Bookmarking this video for when I eventually have to do this to my Element.
I am so glad I am a subscriber to your TH-cam channel scotty kilmer
We need more 1994 Toyota Celica videos. Hey Scotty, that video of you using the WD-40 Silicone spray really helped my 94 Celica's power windows. Saved me hundreds of dollars in repair cost.
Oh wow 2 mins ago!! :)
While I'm here, 4runner or Rubicon?
4 runner white girl....
Is u on OXY?
Kite 4Runner!
4runner
You are definitely making a statement in the Automotive field.
Thanks for showing how easy it is to fix your own car.
I have that same kind of bird living by my house, too.
Scotty the overall mechanic...
Automotive mantra: never make something simple and straightforward when you can make it grand and glorious. 😜
The Honda Element is one of the most failure cars that Honda even made. Engine and transmission were good though, but it has a lot of problems like this. It could have been better for honda if they made it 4 doors, instead of the suicide doors.
Anthony Staunton I totally agree! I own a 2003 Element with 208,000 miles and just in the last couple years I had to replace both brake calipers (which were stuck) on the passenger side, knock sensor, ignition switch, ignition coils, motor mounts, windshield washer motor, thermostat & housing, left and right ball joints, broken door locks, a broken hood latch and on and on. Thank goodness I was able to do all that work myself or I'd be broke by now! Yet after all that those repairs & money spent there are STILL 14 codes that popped up after hooking up my scan tool the other day. I have never owned a junkier vehicle in all my life! I've owned several Toyotas (Yaris, Scion XA) that had even more miles yet I haven't had 1/10th of the problems with them. This is my third (and definitely LAST) Honda.
@@anthonyrice8528 yup, I had one with only 150,000 miles on it. It started its problem with O2 sensor. Later, I had to replace the whole cat converter, brake calibers, struts, brake lines, fuel pump, 2 window motors, and the cherry on top the great passenger airbag light turned on with no reason.
I had enough and sold it. Now, I have a scion xb that made by toyota and it has 200,000 miles on it. runs just perfect with minor issues. And it has 4 doors and not as heavy.
Anthony Staunton I feel your pain brother! I forgot about the O2 sensor & cat.. I had problems with those as well. And yeah, the XB is a fantastic little car. If it has the 1NZ-FE engine you should be able to get another 100k easily!
Scotty:
If you truly want to educate someone on how to perform this replacement, you must stop editing out the video details. There is so much that you edited out that it is almost unusable to someone who is trying to actually do this job. I rate this "instructional" video with a C rating.
Come on, Scotty. Because you know what you're doing, you can do better on these instructional videos.
Hey Scotty. I have a 2004 fiat punto 1.3 multijet diesel engine bought from Italy with 112 000 miles on it..The problem is that it wont go higher than 3k rpms and with that it wont go more than 70 mph..Help please.
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
What are your thoughts on the Element? Similar quality with the CrV?
Hello Scotty, any thoughs in using a 90s sportsbike as a daily (Honda MC22 CBR 250RR), is it a bad idea?
What would solve this problem is if CARS STILL HAD ROLL DOWN WINDOWS, ah i miss those days.
I don't know squat about fixing cars, but I watch most all of your videos. You are some heck of a mechanic!!!
Turning a Honda element into a 94 Toyota Celica.
Rev up your engine!!!
That cable style window regulator is just like the one on a Jeep Wrangler I worked on. Cheap crap design that doesn't last like the scissor / gear type design.
My Honda Element has 450k and she’s still ticking! If I can replace the motor and regulator anyone can!
Hey Scotty, my 2001 Outback has finally gotten to the point where it's not worth fixing (Michigan salt & ice is a killer), so I'm in the market for a used car. It's my first time buying a car (the Outback was a gift from my parents) and I'd like your opinion. I was leaning towards a Mazda3 but when I test drove it, it felt way too small for me (I'm 6.2).
The 2016 Mazda CX-5 felt fantastic, but I live in the city and I don't have kids. Looking for at least 24 MPG, back seats, reliability, sporty/fun to drive, leather seats, and a sub/compact SUV design or possibly a wagon or larger hatchback. AWD would be nice, but I live in Seattle where it rarely snows.
The 2013-2014 CX-5 and the 2017-2019 Kia Soul have really caught my eye. Any tips or recommendations? Or any other relevant videos I should watch. $15K is my max, $12K would be ideal.
Love your videos! Thanks for your work!
