  1. For everyone wondering, the Lemon BMW videos are coming up shortly but we had a mishap at the race which messed up all my planned videos haha. But stay tuned because once the car is back, I have some epic videos to share with you guys!

  2. For me my rear right window first wouldn’t go up but it went down just fine. Then the same thing happened to the rear window then the front passenger window was starting to act up. I took it to Firestone and they said it was a dealership only thing. I took it there and it was gonna be 1,110 to fix it. I’m like nah and I’m gonna try and find the parts needed

  3. 2:28 one of the car repairs I made when I was maybe 14 was when the cig lighter ports on a 2013 Honda odyssey was not working so I was at my grandparents’s house and I was able to get the fuse for the port and it was blowned so I went to autozone with my grandfather to buy some new fuses so I was able to install it into the car

  4. Am I the only person here that thinks that him cutting that washer in two was unnecessary cause he could have just slid it off the bolt not cut it in half?

  5. I can remove Moro from old regulator. The metal plate isn’t secured by screws. It’s clipped to the plastic and I can’t seem to get it off. Any advice? It’s a ford escape 2008

  6. Is your hummer a 6.5 Diesel??
    I have one in my 1999 Suburban. I get 19 mpg on HWY w/ AC on & full of vacation stuff ! The PMD was a headache untill I did the relocation thing AND mounted a second unit for backup!!

  7. Watching this video after I replaced my window regulator. Boy do I feel like a champion. And I didn’t have to spend a penny. Thank you for your years of awesomeness Chris.

  8. Thanks! Just did regulator for my 05 lesabre. I would advise to clean the glass before operating the window. The steel cables freyed and some of those tuny metal bits scratched the glass when the new one was in.

  9. I have a 1998 camaro with bad window motors and the rivets are behind the door so the only way to drill is drilling thru the door which I don't wanna do that

  10. Man i needed this 3 years ago when I bought my last beater, 99 jetta, for me it turn out to be the regulator. But i replaced the motor and regulator. Not a bad fix but its still a great car, and junkyard parts keep it cheap and cheerful.

  11. I bought a Dorman unit. It came in a box to fit with absolutely NO packing material! There was a big hole in the box right where the motor was located, and a big hole in one of the corners. The motor tested dead. I returned it. After multiple attempts to get a refund, they gave me only a little over 50% back. I will never buy from them again!

  12. i wish this was my issue, On mine the actual mechanism that the motor powers to push the window strewn itself to peices. How is the reg on yours $400? Mine was only £35

  13. Electrician here. Really good part on the electrics side, however you could have also mentioned that if you really need to replace a fuse and don't have the fitting one, you could also always use a smaller size one and hope that it doesn't blow. The fuses are there to protect the components and the cable tree, and nothing else. So, if it pops at a smaller current, it really doesn't damage your car. Also it would've been cool of you to show replacement of the moisture barrier using parts that you can get at a regular hardware store. Other than that, I love your videos. Keep it up.

  14. Any recommendations if all the windows stopped working? I found out the fuses are all fine when I press any of the switches I don’t hear any noises or anything( this is for a 2019 Kia forte)

  15. Any idea why window on Ford Taurus keeps going off track with a new window regulator??
    The first replacement regulator was defective. This is the 2nd replacement regulator.

  16. Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth…. Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
