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.

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!!

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

@Herpaderp10 Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.
