My goodness! Every other KZbin channel is either painfully slow with no time lapse, or they skip all the important stuff. This is amazing

Thanks.

​​@@BroncosandPartsGaragethank you. p.s . I recognize the Pacific green, what is the gold color called?

[@AMCguy]

Amazing video! Helped me out a bunch

[@johnboyofalaska4182]

Guys-- THANKS!! This is EXACTLY what I needed. After 37 years I decided to work on the windows of my green 1989 bronco-- kinda like yours in the video! Both window motor plastic assemblies were toast, and I decided to limit the cancer by replacing the window molding too. Thanks! (and thanks to Jeffs Bronco Graveyard for the parts!--ALWAYS the right stuff)

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

No problem!!!

[@richardzimmerman1216]

Tanks so much for putting this video together. I had my old bullnose apart and this really helped!

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@azactor]

I've been looking on how the vent window comes out. I didn't know it was that big. Vent windows are one of the best things about Bronco's. The airflow you get with them is awesome. They should put them in every vehicle.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Yes. It’s very simple. 3 screws.

[@AmazingBlaze0]

I think the reason why they stopped them were because they were easier to break into or something along the lines of that

[@kevinlakey9625]

Absolutely one of the best how to videos I’ve watched. I like how you just speed it up and don’t go away and come back and have two other things done that you didn’t see you do! Thanks again fellas

Excellent video!! Thank you for posting it! I watched this first and spent less than an hour on each side getting my door and window seals and sweeps replaced on my 89 Bronco. The tip on riveting the internal sweeps into place was super helpful.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

You're very welcome!

[@clindberg1492]

Well done and timely because this is at the top of my to-do list. Emphasis on clever insights and neat hacks to overcome common issues tailored to DIYers makes this the go-to instructional video for any Gen 5 owner. Thanks Chris and Bearded Assistant!

I have been watching your videos for quite some time and they have been extremely helpful for my 1990 Bronco XLT. I just finish watching this video and it was a breeze to do my doors, however the vents are being a pain. I wish you could have shown that process. Thanks for all you guys do!

I’ve got an ‘83 down in Puerto Rico with ZERO SEALS or TRIM left & have to say,as much as this project is on my to-do list, it’s amazing the abuse that old glass puts up with! I’m pretty sure 90% of my rattle noise is from all the glass bouncing around inside the doors, but she just keeps on truck’n along while I wait to get my new felt down with me next trip down. Thanks for another good video😀

Your doing great things. I live in Colombia and restautating a 1994 5.0 XLT Bronco. I'm doing OK but there are no spare parts available here and also tried to get from the US but mostly they don't ship to Colombia. My only option is ebay but due to bad experiences I don't want it. I found your clips here and used them for some things. Thanks. But now, could you help me and ship to Colombia? Like your canal, keep on BRONCO-ing. Thank you

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Thank you! I can make special Ebay listings for you and allow international shipping. I can’t ship international from ups

[@bloomexcolombia2000]

Is there any posiblily to get in touch with you by email or whatsapp? I would like to get your suggestion, after I sent a photo. Now the swimmer in the tank seems to malefunction, is there a way to repare it or do I need to get a replacement? Seems you are the only guy on you tube, giving and showing normal ways of fixing issues. Other are completely insane or give tips which are rediculous and dangerous

[@kevinprice2141]

Was going to do this job this weekend, last did it when I bought the truck 15 years ago. I want to pop rivet it, but last time I couldn’t get the door panel installed with the inside sweep in place. I had to remove it and reinstall after the panel was in place. But you made it look easy. Once I rivet it, it’s there for good, so I’ll have to make it happen.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

It’ll go in pretty easy

[@charleslewis7007]

This was very informative. Could you make a video on how how to Re align a door And how to fix the inside handle. I have replaced my inside driver's side door handle 4 times now because they keep snapping even the metal ones keep snapping

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Jeffs bronco graveyard sells the door handle reinforcement brackets for $25. Once installed they eliminate the flex in the body of the door and you’ll never break another handle. I’ve used them. They are fantastic.

[@noscopesallowed8128]

These videos are fantastic. Incredibly helpful

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Glad you like them!

[@Leddemo]

Found your channel last night, and looking through your video's I realized I saw your vent removal video months ago! I have 3 (yes, three) 9th gen's. I need to be doing a lot of interior and door stuff on them this summer so I'm SUPER looking forward to seeing some content in the near future. I like how your video's get right to the point. I'm pretty mechanically inclined so I can probably figure out most things, but it's nice watching a tutorial first. One is a ultra nice Green/White '97 F350 dually, I have a '92 Red F150 that's "nice enough" to put a little bit of effort into, but will be a winter hauler (also in Michigan), and a '93 F150 that's donating a TON of parts to the other two plus a rainy day bin. This video pertains to my '92 in particular lol. Hoping to see that manual to power conversion video soon! (saw it commented on another video)

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Thanks! Videos are a blast to do. I always watch someone else’s video before I do a project because there’s always something new to learn. No matter how simple the task. The manual to power just requires an oem harness we sell and power mirrors!! Please share my channel.

Thank you for this video. Just purchased a 93 Bronco and the window seals are like plastic and chipping off now. My driver's side door tint came off when rolling up the window today and I'm wondering if it rubbed against the trim? Do you reccomend doing this before having the tint replaced?

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

It’s a very similar procedure

[@butcher0672]

I just installed new window sweeps on my 1997 F250 HD, and noticed a gap between it and the vent window seal, I was concerned. I've noticed the same in your vid here @11:14, is that normal? Could water not get in and sit at the bottom of the door? Thanks, love your vids, very informative.

[@butcher0672]

PS, love your fix on the broken tabs!

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

I went and looked. I don’t thin it will cause an issue. Non Oem parts vary a bit. Doors have drain holes. Also, the sweeps don’t catch all the rain. There may be a little “play” in it as well. Moveable from side to side during install.

[@briancazier78]

What holds the window felt in? That's what I've been trying to figure out

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

The window channel felt/seal is held in with friction. The sweep is attached to door panel on inside and door body on outside.

[@patrickparker802]

My glass keeps coming loose, is the rear track supposed to be loose towards the bottom edge of window opening? Not sure if my metal track is broke or what, but pops out of door tracks when i lower window.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Check the small white square “slide”

[@garricksmith930]

In the video I noticed you are missing the side mirror glass. I'm sure because you can't find a replacement with the built in signal provisions that the EB and Sport models have. Have you looked into this or located any? What about finding a larger replacement mirror with the arrow and cutting it down to our Bronco size? I'm looking into this but have not figured out what vehicle has large enough glass to cut down to this size.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

The issue is the led’s are red. There is an amber piece of plastic on the back of the Mirror. Prismed so u don’t see the lights when they are blinking. It’s an odd coating.

[@rromero1091]

I'm having trouble with the seal for the actual vent window. someone broke into my truck. I bought the vent window. I just don't know what kind of seal to put on the vent. it's the dry seal in it. I installed it and out silicone but you can still hear air coming in
