Everyday repairs & maintenance for vehicles, motorcycles, lawn mowers, home appliances, and anything else I find myself working on such as replacing iPad screens, old knives, baseball gloves, bat grips, assembling new furniture, etc. etc. Some DIY skills will save you a lot of money, and it feels good to fix things on your own! Sometimes I will post an Amazon link to whatever tool or product I'm using, and as an Amazon associate I would earn from qualifying purchases.
Ford F150 F250 Rear Center Sliding Glass Replacement. Picked up the glass from my local scrap yard!
Quick video showing how easy it is to remove the rear center sliding glass on your Ford truck. This is the 97-03 model years, but other years are the same process. Takes about 5 minutes, just need a small screwdriver or pick.
Install is just the reverse of this removal. (Put the glass in first then work the tracks in, clean the tracks up first). Once I get the install video done I'll provide a link below.

How to check and add tire air pressure. Same on any car or truck. Find correct PSI and check it. DIY
The replacement module I received has a plastic tab that doesn't easily clip into place. I returned it. When I put the single freezer module back in and resigned the Whirlpool refrigerator to darkness, with only the garage light to illuminate the inside, the old module clip snapped all the way into place and VIOLA, all the lights came back on. There is but one circuit, all in series, so all is well again! BUT when it's time for a new fridge, I'm going to look for a new refrigerator with a LIGHT BULB I can easily screw in and out. These modern units are like luxury cars in that there are so many fancy doo-dads that when they go out, you pay through the nose to have it fixed. BRING BACK SIMPLICITY!
2nd comment one year later and I will be doing my wife's car, this Sunday. Thanks for the video.
Going to try this method for my blinds… hopefully i can replicate this
Hey great video! I was able to replace the plastic piece of the hinge. I have the exact same shower. Unfortunately for me it didn’t fix the issue because it’s the metal part that’s misaligned :( I think the screw holes were drilled a bit off. The plastic piece was broken though so at least that’s fixed!
@@gabbyc6359 if you can lift the door up a little bit (if there is wiggle room), you may be able to put a little spacer in there to keep it held up. Maybe a few small washers between the hinge pin and the metal part.
@ good idea! I’ll give it a try thanks :)
Super helpful
Great! Thanks
I watched your video prior but didn't follow directions. I thought I would attempt to just use my hand to pound it down. Mind you, I'm a female and broke my nails 😂. I'm gonna follow your advice and use a rubber mallet or block!
anybody got the link I want the same color for headliner
@@jmkingz1598 it’s www.moonautotops.com/shop/headliner-fabric-replacement-kits/p/06-11-honda-civic. Color I used in the video was “light driftwood”
But when you do that you leave some of the oils behind?
Maybe whatever doesn't empty out of the broken spray bottle. Compare it to dumping out a glass of water, yes there will be a few drops left behind, but at least you can use most of it once it's transferred to the new bottle.
Thanks Easy job. Nice and clear vid
Tyvm that saved me alot of time
Bro, my battery’s like seized in there I can’t get it out
Strange it shouldn’t be tight. Is it caked in mud? Or it’s possible it could have swelled up as it failed. Not sure. Put some good ol wd40 on the sides and grip the battery with something, maybe a big c clamp and yank it out.
Super goog video!!! GRACIAS!
are you able to use a piece of metal to imitate the buttons to see if the board even works? Don't want to order a blank FOB if the board is toast.
@@austindusek1725 take yours apart, see if there’s a loose button. If there is, glue it back on as a temporary fix or even just set it back in place as a temporary test. Put back together and test it. Another way to test is if you have 2 FOBs. Just swap your 2 boards and see if problem stays.
Most excellent. Glad i came across this video instead of spending 70 bucks for one on ebay. Thanks.
How to install lower grilled make a video
Hey just wanted to say thanks. A little more complicated than I’m used to and your video was perfect. The explanation and the pace helped me a bunch!
Nice review. Thanks.
Thanks💫
How do you get the squirrel cage to be level like that? There is nothing holding my cage off the “floor” of the housing so it wants to tilt towards the bottom. I can’t get it center in the housing. No matter what I do it wants to rest on one side or the other…left or right
@@Persephales make sure the cage bore is the right diameter for the shaft. The motor should be bolted down to housing with some rubber dampers, if any are broken or gone that could throw off alignment maybe. Then just tighten the set screw/bolt on the cage against the flat spot on the shaft well. Check to ensure the shaft isn’t wobbly, if it is your motor may be shot.
not good stuff to use to glue a headliner with. I know I am an upholsterer any can glue will not hold and make a big mess to clean.
Hello, 3M markets it as headliner glue, so I went with it, and it's holding good so far. What do you recommend using for those that don't have access to a spray gun?
Thanks so much for this video! We use our Honda Foreman in a very northern location. I'm hoping bringing the battery in our house at night will keep it warm enough to start up easily in the mornings 🤞 we get down to temps between -20°c to -50°c
Hello @ekcolenu. I don't know if bringing the battery in will help ya a ton. My guess is the engine gets very cold, and that makes the oil get thicker when it's colder (think cold honey vs. warm honey). Also when things are cold they contract (balloon in the freezer effect). The cold oil and tighter engine tolerances make the engine harder to crank over when cold. Yes a strong battery & starter can overcome that. If a warm battery doesn't work, try getting a battery tender and leaving it plugged into the battery all the time in the winter so it stays 100% charged all the time. Good luck & keep warm!
@RepairNut thanks for the advice!
Surprised you didn't clamp down the wood when you made your cut. Was that just experience showing? I'm going to be installing a similar cat door myself and doing any sort of woodwork for the first time, so I'm thinking of buying clamps. Worth it or nah?
You can do it if you are careful without a clamp, especially if you have a helper to help hold down the door. When I cut it, the door did slide back on the table and yes I did cut my table a little bit, but I just use the table for hobby work so no big deal. I should have noticed it sliding back but was probably pre-occupied with making the video, etc..... Good luck!
when you bring your bike to a shop nowadays, you don’t see it for at least two months 😳 now I will replace my battery on my own👏 kawi gal thanks you: 140klx with 160 top end- fmf Full exhaust Pro taper bars-with aftermarket levers Rental chain-geared down Airbox vented Race techsuspension makes for a fun bike😎
i subscribe you
thank you
Just did this job. Thank you very much for a clear explanation. Worked like a charm.
What about the black bottle u can't use it now?
@@noonewiou7 the cap or spray nozzle is not screwed onto the original bottle, instead it is permanently crimped on, so there’s no way to replace it. The solution I went with was removing the broke sprayer with pliers and then using a cheap replacement bottle with a screw on lid/sprayer.
Excellent video. Thank you. Thinking I'll do my '01 Civic when the weather warms up.
Thanks for the video. It's riducous how difficult it is to get to the battery in these things. I found a replacement battery at my local Interstate Batteries for $19.99. It's 12V, 5 A. Works great.
It looks like your in luck with those nozzles.
Ya it was a 50/50 chance of them breaking but I got a couple that I needed. Also got a new rear sliding glass for an F150, will be making that video soon.
We have a DX model, so no factory drivers lock switch for some dumb reason, only the passenger side. Ordered a cheap after market replacement switch that has all the windows (including drivers auto up and down) child lock, and now drivers side lock switch. Plugged it in and it works perfectly, and was able to program how we want the locks to function. Seems the wiring harness and brains are all the same, but they cheaped out 10 cents and left out that one switch!
@@bradvogt7935 that’s crazy. You could also go to the scrap yard and find the switches or door panel you need if anyone else runs into this.
Thanks
For my 09 KLX450R the all balls kit had two o rings does thus mean I need to install both?
@@marioguzman9290 my countershaft seal kit had 2 o rings also. Look at the 10 minute mark on the video and you’ll see I removed 2 o-rings during the job. Basically what you install should match what you find when you take it apart.
Ooh thx
vans is probably way better 😅
😮
Great work, glad to see you went with the slightly lighter color, as it'll probably match perfectly over time as it gets dirty. Wondering how it's holding up 3 months in?
It's still holding strong. Looks great still. Right around the visor detents I could have done better, it didn't stick great in about a 1" area in the deepest part of the detent, but that hasn't led to anything else unsticking so far. I learned a few things - 1: don't over apply the glue, or if you do you have to let it get tacky before you stick it down. 2 - leave plenty of excess and the goal is not to stretch it anywhere at all, any stretching will just lead to making it harder to get to stick down.
Sweet! Even if it's broken and not dirty I found the replacement part on amazon for only $50 so it's free or $50! I just needed to know how to get there. Thank you!
I have a bulb type fridge so this doesn't apply to my needs but found it very interesting to watch just as well. Included the links too...nice. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Ya it's interesting to see the different designs of the most simple things, like lights in an appliance......
So helpful
I'm no mechanic. Just a weekend warrior really, but changing out spark plugs has got to be one of the most fundamental and easiest jobs to do. Until you get to a modern vehicle and realize how much stuff you have to remove to even find the coil packs and spark plugs! 😂 This has gotta be the best video out there for anyone unfamiliar with this engines layout. Instead of me spending half the morning blindly pulling off stuff needlessly, you've very clearly demonstrated exactly how to get to them. Very well done! Thank you for saving me so much time, and a whole lot of frustrated swearing. Lol.
@@1chabod glad to help! Thanks for the comment.
This helped me out a lot Ty boss
Wow, you are the best! Dealer is a crook
nice thank you!!! im watching December year 2024
The DX model has lock actuators and is stuck in the default setting. Any way to toggle this without using the driver's side lock button (the DX model does not have a button there, just a plastic cover)
@@damingy I haven’t heard of this config. So it has power locks, but no lock/unlock button on the door?
did you manage to do it?
@ Check out the other comment about the DX model - seems that person ordered a cheap replacement switch and installed it into the driver door, because the wiring is actually there.
@RepairNut yeah i might do it too, thanks!!
Thanks- that was so easy and I've been meaning to do this for months. 😊
My battery still holding about an hour charge at high volume and I bought mine over 12 years ago!
Found a piece of plastic stuck in my blower motor! Saved me so much! Thank you so much for this!
Mine started making a loud noise and vibrating badly. I pulled my motor out (generously, Nissan Canada makes the wire so short that you can't remove the motor without unplugging it) and found a piece of rubber had dropped onto the squirrel cage from somewhere in the dash. Pulled that out, and no noise or vibration. Thanks @Repair Nut!
