You make a good point about the removal of the door panel. We can no longer assume they pop out. Nice one Tim.

I thought to mention that because someone had been in there before and totally ripped the panel up. It was missing all the retainers and flapped in the breeze. haha

Can’t believe people pay to get locked inside a room and try to find a way out nowadays...they could just own a GM product and have that experience all the time! Hehe.

On at least some 97-02 that area the power window switches mount to is a separate piece of the door panel. The one I pulled a power window motor from a couple weeks ago had that already separated from the panel when I got there.

It looks like a farty little handle, shame they didnt put a bit more metal into it, or moulded some plastic around it, for a bit more strength+cold insulated.
@ThecardoctorTV6 жыл бұрын
I learned a new word..."farty" ill have to use that word in my upcoming videos. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary.
@zx8401ztv6 жыл бұрын
Yes we all know what a fart is, digestive gasses going south lol. But Farty to me means small or barely good enough, but english is adaptable, you plonk a daft word in the right place and it becomes negative and a judgement. "This handle is about as usefull as a fart in the bath" lol. Read the bottom line of this: farty. Adjective. (comparative fartier, superlative fartiest) (informal) Resembling or characteristic of a fart; flatulent. (chiefly UK, informal) Small and insignificant; petty.
