Theft damaged fiesta st gets fixed. drivers glass changed

so some thieving scumbags smashed my window trying to steal my fiesta st. today we replace the broken drivers side window.

[@andymiller9498]

Thanks Steve, this video helped me out with the removal of a door card on our fiesta. Keep up the good work

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Was there a little light rain ? Can’t believe it rains in Wales 😱. Another great video 👍

[@mikeberry304]

Top tip on the stuck glass that will be in the crevices of the door , spraying some underseal in the door will stick it to the door rather than you hearing it rattle for the next 15 years , did one of these 2 months ago , nothing stolen , just popped the window , customer bought glass I fitted it 🇬🇧👍

[@user-te1le7ck6b]

Did this on my old focus , only issue i noticed after was water in bottom of door in heavy rain but mechanic said it was normal and that why the holes are there , but who knows rubbers seemed fine to me , good insurance premium saver though , nice job

[@Hazardous2010]

Nice video but im sure who ever tried taking your car watches your vidoes and knows why he couldn't take it. Please get a full steering lock because this might happen again Steve

[@187LethalSlug]

Exactly the same happened to mine but they managed to drill and force the lock. Cost me £20 to replace the drivers knee pocket, the thieves ripped mine to bits.

[@st5113]

Similar thing happened to my Titanium X. I solved the keyless cloning issue by using 'Defender' signal blocking pouches for the keys which work, but didnt realise the Onboard Diagnostic Port stays live (inside the flap Steve was going to velcro) so... break into the car and even without the key signal, plug a £50 machine bought online into the port and in 30 seconds alarm off and engine started. Poor security. Ive now fitted the Fiesta ADR system in place of the Ford security and disabled the port.

[@TsGGamingClan]

Bloody criminals, glad you got it sorted mate great vid👍🏼

[@stighds8518]

Don't forget the Waxoil trick I mentioned on the van series, it's great for catching loose glass in the bottom of a door.

[@skodakatie7341]

Great how to video, it was a lot easier than I thought to change the glass!!.

[@lukeb8429]

Well at least you made a positive out of a negative it shows the cracks heads you can fix that window but they won't fix there shity lives and helps others how to fix there windows if some drugy dose it to there's well done

[@rossjones981]

People who are light fingered and does things like this to people like u Steve is because they jealous and can’t afford what u got sad low life people out there

[@grantmitchell9034]

That's true they don't feel good unless they hurt others

[@transferz]

Just happened to me and window repair is 2 weeks out so I’m gonna do my own. Thanks for the help. What tools did you use btw??

[@iangalbraith1258]

It's great how easy they are to change, these days. Having tried to do the same on a Mk 1 Capri 45 years ago. that's when the class was factory push fitted, into a long rubber channel. Fine, if you'd access to a Ford factory. Of course, I'd been the fool to buy a brand new door window. Your a very inspirational guy, to say the least. Thanks again for another very helpful and dare I say enjoyable - How to do the job, video. // So some rotten thief tried to steal your car, we're all glad to see they didn't get very far. Breaking the glass to gain entry they got in, not happy pulling the plastic door they begin, to wreck it instead so you've to find another, would we all like to kick his ass? Oh brother, we hope you can soon find the correct type, lastly thanks for a tip re lengthening a pipe! Yours Shane the poet, now you know it! ;-)

[@mikeberry304]

New cars can be a pain to do jobs on , did a window regulator on a VW touran the other day , door panel , switches and reflector ights out of door , then take metal frame off door frame ,(bolted and riveted) , then remove the top frame off the door , bolted and riveted , fit regular to panel off the car , (riveted again from inside with special long rivets ), rebuild everything you removed , only took 4 1/2 hours , they are not all easy , and I do this for a living , so have all tools , workshop and 40 + years motor trade experience 😂😂😎

[@Showing_the_car_]

Two things made me laugh on this vid - that have happened to me many times when doing door glass. You jiggle the glass and it meets some real resistance, then the damn glass just falls away down into the door (and you think "shit I nearly smashed it"). The other thing was when the OBD door flopped down at the end after it looked like it would stay closed. Nice vid mate - I'm binge watching the SPS box set tonight. PS How come your thumbnails show bright sunny weather but it always raining in the vids? Good old South Wales!

[@Mark1971-1]

Fantastic video Steve just Imagine working at that speed in real life ha ha ha ha ha

[@JFrizey]

I find if you slide the rubber seal/runner guides out completely then flip it inside out, it lets you just brush the glass off with the end of a hoover, flip it right way round and refit, (could use some soapy water if it's a tight fit) but it will tend to find its own way down the guide channel

[@paulrichardson1417]

Weather like that up north too, mate. ☹️

[@waynerountree9284]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@PaulinhoThompson]

Nice technique with the foil, and you can still use it for the Sunday roast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Every time I go to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 it’s guaranteed to rain !

[@paulrichardson1417]

Look forward to more videos. It reminded me of an old 'Benny Hill' sketch when video was speeded up. 🤣🤣🤣 👍🏻

[@Stop..carry-on]

Stick a cheap tracker on it. I watch the m track automatics channel , the fella seems to get most of the plant / cars back from tool to scooters to rangrovers ect maybe worth it on the track car at least

[@mikeberry304]

They are a great piece of kit mtracs, but monthly subscription if you want it recovered same as tracker , many available that you check yourself on an app 👍

[@sandman2651]

Nice vid,now can you do me a favour can you keep the rain in wales so we dont get it in weston super mare lol

[@jmp4285]

Hi and nice to see your videos again. I'll wait with interest for what you come up with for the OBD plug. Are you moving it or are you adding more electronics? Don't show everything when robbers can be here. Greetings also here from snowy Lapland.

[@md-detailing]

I am so sorry mate,you worked hard on rebuilding it and then this happend,if it makes you feel better my Renault Megane 3(Berlline Collection) the exclusive model,my paint got damaged by another car door and its missing its metallic black paint :(

[@sparkplug964]

Good work as always Steve.

[@fordyford]

You need a smaller car. Getting in and out looks like a pain in the arse. Another cool DIY video though. Glad you got this one sorted.

[@lukeeveritt5040]

Not related to the video but on your track car is that exhaust a Milltek non res race or just the normal Milltek non res?

[@joeflanagan132]

Would love to see you fix up a golf r/s3!

[@SalvageDiaries]

Great vid Steve & welcome back! 👌🏼

[@BenEyah]

Another thing as well, perhaps put a clear film on the Windows (like tint) so if it does happen again it's that little bit more to get in it 'cause it'll stay whole and then it should be less to clean up too. Should've done it to mine as soon as it got broken into but didn't get time before it happened again :(

[@cyrilmckinstry7863]

Hey Steve hows it goin good video sorry to hear about window glad you got it sorted 👍

[@adamhempshell5429]

I noticed that. Not much of a mount ever

[@adamhempshell5429]

@Josh maybe because it shows how track ready the car is being stiff ???

[@EDwindcreens]

You can just pull out the rubber seal inthe door frame and alot of the glass would of come with it.

[@cjmackay9804]

Any mod plans this year for the car Steve? I’ve missed your tinkering videos 🤔

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yeh definatly be doing more mods. Thanks.

[@jonaswedege]

Just a question but doesn’t insurance cover things like this in the uk ?

[@kianbaker7205]

jonas mikkelsen yeah but we have an excess that we have to pay before insurance gets involved so it can be cheaper in long run to fix yourself for minor stuff like this

[@chewie3397]

Did you actually sit on all that broken glass?

[@lennyquinton]

What do you record your audio and video on?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Iv been using a hero 5 for over a Yr. Normally on an external mic, edutige but the mic adapter has broke so this vid is on go pro internal mic and its horrible I know. Scratching sounds when you move the camera. Hateful thing it is

[@J0nny61]

I haven't owned a car for around 20 years as I've been fortunate enough to have company cars. So my question is, if you have a break in and damage but repair it yourself, do you need to declare it to your insurance company? You should be good with windows Steve :-)

[@anthonyclancy2322]

Jon Matthews what a stupid question mate, if you declare to the insurance company after you’ve repaired yourself only one thing can happen your insurance premium will shoot up!! For no reason as you saved them on paying for the repairs

[@david1976aful]

I’m sure you’ve been asked this many times, but did you build your own car port? BTW, great channel. 👍

When I had a door glass changed by a well known autoglass company they did not clean out the inside of the door of glass, you could hear it every time you slammed the door.

Spray some waxoil inside the door it will stop the glass moving around
