DE Mazda 2 (Demio) 2007 to 2014: How to replace a rear door window.

[@mattm8765]

When I was a kid my mum got me a book called How Things Work. It wasn’t a big book but it had anything from a jet engine to a vcr. Definitely fed my curiosity and led to me breaking the letterbox and the door to my dad’s rental van just exploring how things worked 😅 A few years ago my brother and I took our PS3 apart just from an instructional KZbin video like this. We didn’t fix what was wrong with it but the rush we got when it actually turned back on and worked the same as before we dismantled it was worth the effort. Plus we learned what thermal paste is. When I eventually get round to buying a car, this channel will be my 1st port of call when it needs fixed. Thank you mate 😊👍🏻

[@PaulinPerth]

Thanks Matt. Here is a website you might like. www.howstuffworks.com/

Dude i can't believe you're the same person i watched in ICU for weeks. its actually unbelievable. makes me so happy.

[@PaulinPerth]

It has been a long recovery, but I am getting there. I noticed on my most recent radiology report that the base of my left lung still hasn't full re-inflated. So I still have that to recover. That reminds me. I need to do some deep breathing exercises. I'll do them now.

Love it when Paul starts getting technical with cars.

[@PaulinPerth]

I love it when I can do something constructive unrelated to cancer. I'm hoping to do more and more of it. Paul.

[@iSheree]

@@PaulinPerth it is good to see you taking back the power from cancer. 💪

[@iSheree]

I am not into cars, but it cheers me up seeing you in your element. ❤

[@ThomasMckain]

Paul you are amazing, your attitude in face of adversity is unbelievable, I wish I such strength.

[@ValAllyse]

Honestly, Paul, it was your teaching that hooked me onto your channel. It made me care even more about what you were going through and it was a big reason why I followed your journey. I actually hope that I never have to replace my own car window but, because of you, I feel like I could.

[@PaulinPerth]

Cool! I'm sure you could. It's quite empowering to fix things yourself. Paul.

[@MsHappy-u5o]

Back to the old Paul👍👍👍

[@CherylDove-j7d]

So skillful Paul ... had no clue replacing a window was so involved ... You look good ...

[@threepurrs]

Hi Paul, delighted to see you doing what you enjoy doing. Nice that you are educating people who are interested in fixing cars. I couldn’t help but smile when you said you cut yourself…it was predictable Paul 😅. Happy you are feeling good, take care….sending love, hugs and continued improved health. hi to Caroline ❤

[@CherylBennett-m4i]

Hi Paul, it's so good to see you living life 💙, good to see you living life and enjoying your self!

Paul in Perth… working on a Mazda. This is great to see, and we’re back to normal. Legend.

[@Zuly-yt9zt]

If I didn't know you had cancer, I wouldn't have known watching this video. You look great, Paul. I have been watching a lot of your videos for the past few weeks and you've come a long way.

[@PaulinPerth]

And I'm feeling increasingly good too. But my blood markers are up, and my CT scan has anomalies. I've learnt to just say to myself, "I feel good, so today I'm going to do stuff that makes me happy." If down the track the cancer catches up with me then so be it. But today I feel good.

[@Del_z_Slayer]

What a great way to look at things ​@@PaulinPerth.wish you so much health and happiness ❤

[@Zuly-yt9zt]

@@PaulinPerth Your outlook on adversities has changed my perspective on so many things in life, too. I wondered the other day, watching you smile, how you could stay smiling, making videos and just positively influencing others to do the same while dealing with something as serious as cancer. You've accpeted your situation with such equanimity. I truly believe that something of this magnitude could break me indefinitely. I aspire the positivity you radiate. We should all take life as it comes along - and you taking it day at a time is so good for your mentally. I'm looking forward to the next cancer update.

[@Kenna-Browne]

Hi Paul, it’s so amazing to see you up and at what you are so skilled in and obviously enjoy! There was a time, through your cancer journey, particularly post surgery, where I actually feared for your recovery from such extensive and invasive, traumatic, intervention. Your resilience is astonishing! To see you in this update, unless I’d been following you, I’d never have believed this level of improvement and excellent attitude to engaging in life, would have been possible! You are such an inspiration to everyone! Keep on being you, and enjoying it! Lots of care, and all very best wishes, 🥰

[@AussieAli1]

It's great to see you back in your element Paul 😊

[@pippadot679]

Paul, goodness it's fabulous to see my old Paul in his element doing his thing. I love your videos. You have such a talent whether it's instructional or just a story time. I'm so excited looking forward to any relief in the ideas you gave me. Excited for Noel's bike ride as well on my bday. Sending prayers to you & Caroline.

[@emajinkiti]

So happy to see you in your element again, you are downright giddy in this video. I love it!😊

Hi Paul. I have zero interest in learning about doing car stuff...yet I watched every moment of this...and enjoyed it. Makes me happy to just see you living life and doing regular stuff. Carry on.

[@dmntd1]

Your energy is thru the roof!!! This brings smiles to me just to see that you're not just back at it, but at it with a passion and moving around like nothing happened... Amazing!! I have to be honest... watching the first few minutes, I thought this was an old video, and I had to read the comments to see it wasn't. 1 more thing... all these videos I watched for a year now and I never realized you are missing the tip of your right index finger!!! How did that happen?!?!?

[@PaulinPerth]

I was young and invincible. I thought a spinning motorbike chain and sprocket was nothing to be feared. I was wrong.

[@dmntd1]

Hey Mate! So good to see you turning wrenches again! I'm in San Diego (USA). My days of turning wrenches are long over, but it brought me great satisfaction in my youth. My Dad, has had 4 Mazda MX-5s (many of the same components as the Mazda 3. Great cars! Cheers mate!

so proud of you Paul! you got a lot of life to live and i think this could be a great idea you have come up with and maybe have a DIY car fixer upper show! it’s fascinating to watch

[@rainelady]

So nice to see you looking so well and in a good place emotionally Paul. I always follow you but in this instance as a female and not every female is like me, I have very Iittle interest in cars except that it gets me where I need to be. You’re doing so well and that extra bit of weight makes you look healthy. To me and I’m sure to others, you don’t look overweight. Keep doing as well as you are. So many people are behind you. 😊🤗🤙🏻

[@BettinaHaubert220]

Isn‘t it great to get back to things that bring joy and are not cancer related? Cancer has stolen enough time from us. What cars are to you, horses are to me 🚗🐴. This video was interesting and very entertaining and I watched it carefully, but not in a million years I will be able to replace a window by myself. But: at least I know how to change tires 😊. Years ago the passenger door window of my car was smashed by carjackers and till today there are tiny pieces of glass in my car.🤷‍♀️ Let‘s stick together. ❤ Bettina

I am just GRINNING thru out this video. I trust it's Caroline assisting with camera duties? Bet she's grinning too. (Ann)

Hi Ann, the cameraperson was the owner of the car. I'd never met him before. I agreed to fit his window for him as long as he filmed it for me.

[@oliver533]

good to see your doing well mate, but could you help me in locating the parking sensor module in the mk2 mazda 3? spend the whole day looking for it the other day and i haven’t got a clue, thanks

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Oliver, I've only ever worked on one Mazda 3 that had that module. It was an aftermarket installation, and the module was in the boot. Just follow the wires from the back of one of the bumper sensors until you find a control box. Paul.

[@oliver533]

⁠@@PaulinPerth Cheers for that,i guess i’ll have another look in the boot, don’t know how i missed it as i completely stripped it back to the metal

[@chrissygreig2277]

Very interesting, thank you, I used your fixing the seatbelt technique , which worked to a point. 🌹♥️🐶🚗

[@thelmab.1516]

Paul, i know very little about making repairs to cars, but I watched this video from beginning to end. This fix didn't look that hard, but just had a lot of steps. I have to ask, where did you learn auto repair? Were you self-taught, or did you go through a formal training program? I honestly wonder if there is anything you can't do? It's great to see you happily occupied doing something you love and are good at. I'm up to learn more if you're willing to share your auto repair knowledge in more videos. ❤ Thelma (USA)

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Thelma, my father taught me when I was a teenager. He used to fix cars, washing machines, kettles, whatever. He showed me that if you pull something apart, you can usually work out how it works. That was true in the 80s. Nowadays there is more electronics involved, so sometimes even pulling it apart doesn't help you, but now you have KZbin as well, so you have more clues. I assure you that there is plenty I can't do. I'm awful at soldering for example. My eyesight is nowhere near good enough for that. I can't do dent removal, spray painting or upholstery. If I had three lifetimes I'd learn those things, but I only have one, so I do what I do, and I share my knowledge with others. Paul.

[@Emptynestballerina1]

Paulllllll looking fly

[@Loutripe]

hey what's your opinion on mazda ? I'm thinking about getting a mazda 3 of 2019

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Lou, I've never owned a BP Mazda 3, so I have no direct experience with it. However, I've owned several BLs. The main complaint I hear about the BP Mazda 3s is that the electric folding mirror function stops working. So I'd check that before buying the car. The other compliant I hear is that the soul red paint is very very hard to colour-match. So paint repairs are very expensive for that specific colour, as you may need to respray the entire car. Perhaps avoid buying the soul red colour (except it is VERY cool to look at). Paul.

[@helenfbo4111]

Wonderful ❤ who's car is it ?

[@PaulinPerth]

It was a guy from the internet who answered an ad I had up. He needed his window installed, so I said yes, as long as he filmed. it.

Hello Paul, Can You show us how to replace regular inside mirror to the dimmer one and how to connect it into Mazda 3 BL. Regards from Poland

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi there, I don't quite understand your question, but here is a video showing you how to remove the rear view mirror. The same mirror is on the DE Mazda 2, and BL Mazda 3. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2S6e6R7pbWfo9U

Sure beats sitting around waiting to see what the cancer monster is going to toss at you next! We all kinda go through a life assesment when we get cancer...but eventually if we are physically able...it's best to go on living in as much 'normal' as we are able to.

[@michaeloffman8694]

Hello again dear Paul. Always think you'll have a better chance of seeing it if I reach out on your most recent post. I hope you've gone quiet because you are living life with as much enjoyment as possible. However, I always worry that that may not be the case. I have followed you EVERY POST AND REPLY since the "magnetizing screwdriver" days. I just want you to know how ANGRY I am that with all you've been through, you haven't gotten more time to be worry -free from some sort of reoccurring cancer issue. DEAR GOD, give this worthy man a fucking break!! You have taught me, amused me, entertained me, inspired me , and made me both laugh and cry. Thinking of you and Caroline today and wanted you to know. ❤❤❤(ANN)
