  • 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.

    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

    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!!

    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.

      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.

    Some years ago, I had that zap feeling in my forearm. It turned out to be a pinched nerve in my spine. Eventually I couldn’t open my pinky, ring finger and index fingers. Had to have spine surgery to remove the bone spur inside the vertebrae. Took about a year to get motion back in those fingers. All’s good now.

    Nice job! Lisle makes some of those suction window hold up tools. I own a set and they work very well.

    If the water shield goo is sticking really well and not wanting to come off I have found that if you stretch it out a little bit then cut in in the middle with a utility knife it works really well. Leaves half on the door and half on the shield that way it is super easy to re-install and sticks good.

    When you snap off part of the regulator, as I did, you can glue the broken piece back on with Loctite HY 4070. It sets very quickly, less than a minute with any luck.
