So, how did the video shot go?

[Bulldoggie]

I'm just about ready to head back to Oregon.
I should have better pre-paired myself, but hindsight is always better.
I think the shoot went well, Eric was great. I managed to save his plastic window tabs to redo my broken tabs.
It was getting dark while we were still working on Kyle's windows.
I think it is important to note again, that Phines window fix, Widening the front window guide is still a very important part of easing the stress on the regulator.
Having 3 sets of windows at one time, showed just how different each Widow problem and adjustment can be.
It wasn't possible to film every detail, but the end result will be clearer to everyone, who has not opened there door panel before, to understand the parts of the window guide and regulator.

P.S. I thought I was taking a short cut home, but I added 40 miles to the distance
Washington road signs leave out a lot of info.@ myself.

Funny story, though:

Bill had done EVERYTHING right on my passenger side window. Between the disassembly, careful handling with the window tint, carefully removing the still-good plastic window tabs, cleaning it, epoxying the new metal tab, reinstalling, videotaping and narrating...well, it took a few hours.

Strangely, though, with all of the "improvements", the window was actually going up SLOWER than before the fix. We kept tweaking it, and it kept going up slower...and slower...and slower.

Finally, um, we realized that the stereo had been running pretty much all day. And with the constant window use and abuse, we'd completely drained my battery!!!

So, important safety tip: if your window is going up slowly, check your battery.

Here ends today's sermon.

That's what I call A "Then It Hits Me" Moment.

any news on the video?

[PHO2GR4]

Sorry everyone...the video is still safely tucked away, untouched, inside the video camera. I've been too busy to even download it to my computer, much less take care of editing, subtitles, music etc.

Unless...unless...are there any iMovie experts out there with too much free time on their hands who would like to take a crack at editing the raw footage?

So Eric, once you got your battery recharged, did those new and improved brackets fix the problem?

I started on mine this past weekend and found a different issue. Inside the door, inside the rubber where the window runs, was very very sticky/tacky. Like there was glue there. So, even with the new metal tabs installed the window wouldn't run up. I ordered some new rubber from St. Charles Isuzu and hopefully that will do the trick.

Unfortunately I got my VX (in Seattle) the week after you guys did this so I missed out.

Anything on the video yet? I really wanted to do this fix this weekend and it would be really nice to have a video to work from.

Thanks for working on this!

crager34,

The rubber weather strip on my driver side window went FUBAR so I just cut out the front portion & replaced with felt. Worked like a charm but I still have to add a little extra to remove a tiny bit of wind noise.
