hi my c5 has a small problem the locks and windows stop working sometimes and I only touch those cables of the door and it works again I want to ask you if the plug of the door the one that shows at minute 11:31 is inside the body of the door or the inside of the vehicle I want to clean the plugs but I cannot see that plug and I have not wanted to disassemble the door panel so as not to break something
Good morning. That plug is the bulkhead connector that completes the transition from the dash harness to the door harness. It will often work its way loose with time, and cause some of the problems you are describing. Good news is that you can pull back the rubber insulator boot that is installed between the door and lower A-pillar and you should be able to see that connector. It's a tight squeeze, but you can verify that it isn't loose or damaged. If that's no help, then you can start working your way out the harness by removing the door panel. Let me know how it goes👍
Hey Andrew, thanks for the feedback👍. I was probably in between ratchets when I made this video. Stripping down cars I go through them so fast I don't bother to keep nice ones around.
I bought a replacement hatch for my c5 I just know how to swap it out idk if I can do it myself since the glass is heavy but if you could pls inform me on what's needed to be done to replace it
It's actually quite a bit easier than it looks. I am assuming the new hatch assembly is the same as your old one and you are going to bolt it right to the car. 1. Remove the interior overhead "halo" panel 2. On the underside of the B-Pillar/unibody structure you will see where the hinge plates for the rear hatch are attached with 4 13 MM bolts. 3. With a helper if possible, remove the hatch struts from the hatch side while leaving them attached to the body side. 4. Remove the 4 13 MM bolts holding the hatch to the B-Pillar. 5. Reverse procedure to mount new hatch. Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks for watching.
Hey Terry, unfortunately I am out of stock on both of those items at the moment. I will look around to see if anything is available and get back to you.
Yep, in my experience the repairs are not always that effective, but the supply of good doors without damage are getting harder to find, so that may be the way to go.
@@VetteSource is there a way to put a plate behind it to up the strength? I mean it’s already damaged but still holds the door. It drops a few cm when it’s opened.
There is already a reinforcing plate behind it, but it's pretty weak. What I've seen some people do is remove the existing plate and install a plate that's a bit thicker. Once you do that, and remember to never use the door as a support to get out of the car you should be good to go.

@@VetteSource Thank you very much for answering that I will do
NP, anytime👍
Good vid. You need to ask for ratchet wrenches for Christmas.

@@VetteSource unless
There’s a way to repair the damage. It’s what you explained
Happens To the hinge is the issue.
