[MBZ] Infiniti rear window repair

2019-02-16 Thread Max Dillon via Mercedes
Today I get to fix the Infiniti's right rear door window. It failed last night, so I taped it closed and then this morning took off the door panel. I found the window regulator is a simple cable with pulley type and the window carrier had detached from the cable where the 24 year old plastic

I love it when people drive their cars, they were meant to move... When I was taken sick I signed up for MotorTrend on Demand. I liked Roadkill when it was you YouTube and I don't mind paying them a little to make it. Between the original shows they pull out a bunch of interesting vehicles.

Oh yeah now I remember.  i think I saw him on TV once, didn't understand the attraction as I didn't think he was funny or entertaining or whatever he was supposed to be.  Maybe I am an old fart now and don't get him.  I was never particularly impressed with Dahtmuth either, so there's that

Personally, Conon O'brien offends me. However, I'm an adult and I have full control of the delete key, which I may choose to use for anything I find offensive. As far as I'm concerned, he is the social equal to passing gas in public, so I get to hold my breath while I choose to walk away. Nothing
