I guess it depends on the vehicle, the one in my 2004 F150 went out, took me all of 20 minutes to install it. The hardest part was finding the 17 different sockets to fit the different bolts. Yes because the 7 mm just weren't as strong as the 8 mm and the 6 mm were the right size for the freaking door handle...nay nay, 7 mm was TOO freaking HUGE for it.....
@ralphlongo19753 жыл бұрын
I wasn't too familiar with window regulators when I got my first e36, when I sold my last one I am now a professional lol. My first bmw e36 had it's window broken, before I bought it (it had a lot of things wrong, 400 dollar car.) I swear to God, it took me three days to figure out how that whole mechanism worked. The e36 has the absolute dumbest window mechanism known to man, I had a shop owner tell me he just goes and looks for a whole door that the window works, because it is easier than to try to fix that crap 😂. I'm assuming he was kidding, but he's not wrong.
