I'm 75. Retired 15 years ago, but still wrenching for friends and family. The spasms in your arm are likely a nerve pinch in your shoulder due to bursitis. Heat, and topical pain relief helps especially BEFORE starting work in a cold shop. Oldage, and mileage are prime factors. 😊 Thanks for your channel. jimandnena

Thanks Doc 😅

Cervical Radiculitis. A nerve in your neck is being pinched by a bulging disc, arthritis, etc… it’s from heavy lifting, twisting, turning in strange positions under the hood or dashboard or under a gas tank etc… Advil along with Tylenol and rest , maybe a topical muscle massage. If it is happening quite often, a visit to your Doctor where a physical exam with C-spine Xray, CT and MRI will give you the diagnosis quickly. 41 years as a Radiologic Technologist with 34 years of MRI experience here. Be careful, you don’t mess with symptoms like this.!! Thanks for the great video. How I hate taking off door panels and changing window regulators!!

We never had time out either, just the swish of air as a piece of leather travelled at the speed of sound. Nice job Mr O. and yes, Mrs O is the highlight of the video

Seeing Eric clean the glass brought a smile. I had a radiator let go spraying coolant all over my windshield. Towed to GM dealer who replaced the radiator and put it back in the parking lot ready for customer pick up-windshield still covered in coolant.

Gave us the shocker again. Good video, always love the extra vocabulary that you put into the videos

About a decade ago I used polyurethane glass adhesive to reattach the plastic window tabs to the front passenger window on a 2006 Sienna. Still driving it in 2024 (396,000 kms) and the window remains connected. I live in Ontario, Canada so no gentle weather conditions either. It worked for me and would suggest it's worth a try before buying a new window.

Nearly 55 minutes for a window regulator and it took me all day to watch it between interruptions! ;) That's a lot more complicated than it oughta be, but it had the right guy doin' it so it all works out!

A few years ago the rear window on my 2011 BMW 328 fell down a few inches and wouldn't roll back up right before I was about to move and drive from Colorado to the east coast. Bought a windshield phone mount and suctioned it on the window such that it kept pressure on the top of the door panel to hold it up and closed until I got where I was going. Once I got there I ordered a new regulator and was able to switch it out in about 20-30 minutes, 10 of which were spent just getting the glass to seat into the clips correctly. Surprises me that I was able to do it in half the time of Mr. O, on a BMW, not being a mechanic.

Did I already mention in the past 10 years that i've been watching your video's that I really like your sense of humor Eric?

VERY GOOD one liner , Love the automatic running boards when they pop out and get stuck, 👌

When my window regulator broke I thought someone shot my truck! It was a super loud bang!!! Super simple to replace the regulator.

I bet there's a lot of demand to be the guy that assembles door regulators on the assembly line! That drivers window will probably never be that clean ever again. Great job!!!

Such small torque wrenches. But I heard the click-click. Amazing tool assortment you have. I hope your shoulder/pinched nerve gets better soon. I haf something similar in my left foot/ankle. Took 6 months to cut that crap out. Like I got my foot caught in an electric fence. You sure dropped a ton of videos. Like someone mentioned, I needed a bathroom break. Cheers Mr. O. Thanks for bringing us along!! Great video.

I love those wera kits, I work as an industrial mechanic and they're great when you're crawling all over a factory

GM had "pull up" door panels many years ago on the GMT800 trucks. One thing i loved about my 04 suburbans.

LOL! My suction cups on a cable got so tired that now I just stick them to the bottom of the window and use them as wedges. XD

Im loving all these videos 🙂

Love teh video's-just good old fashioned common sense and knowledge--doing stuff the right way!

It's nice to know I'm in good company with my pains, burns and cuts. Thanks for all your good work.

I used a Dorman regulator on a rear window of my Buick. It was rarely used and only lasted 10 months and suddenly failed on a cold winter morning when the window went down by itself while on the freeway! That was a freezing surprise.

E-Man, I watched this whole video and the best part was the last 6 minutes with Mrs O! 😎

Hi Eric like the comment below i am 72 been spannering since i was 15 , my eyes started going first then a right shoulder operation to clean out the crusty bits then one knee replaced then the next knee replaced so retire early and go fishing or something else .so be warned 50 to 70 you will start falling apart . cold floors, rusty bolts, getting wet all takes it toll. love your videos.

Thank you, Eric for the video really educational. It looks like it went well Thank you again

Too smooth, too cool, another masterpiece, mrs O give's him a thumbs up atta boy.

That is exactly how I expected a Ford window regulator install to go.

MRS is definitely the main reason I watch.

Respect to you and Mrs O. You guys warm my heart :-)

Good job Eric, you do the whole pacage not a part of a car you aren't able to fix! And you always do your best to put it back the way it was.

I really thought you was gonna loose it Eric I've seen ya in the past but not this bad.. good on you for in keeping your cool your a great mechanic! 😎😎

I was hoping this was going to be like an Edge (remove regulator with outside door handle and latch)way to go Ford! Always great video.

As far as the arm goes---- welcome to old age!😊 Sometimes with pinched nerves -- you can try stretching routines to "loosen" that area up. I can tell you from experience-- getting old sucks! But it still beats the alternative!😊

Keep up the good work Mrs. O, messes him up every time.😂🤣🤙

Been awhile since we’ve seen the “on the go lifestyle” kit. I have not had an on the go lifestyle since the early ‘90’s but I might buy one anyway because it’s kinda cool. PITA job but your commentary was the best ever. All the best to you and yours.

It's the entire kit as well as the caboodle! 😮

Hi Mrs O. Thanks Mr O

I spent about 25 years doing auto glass replacement starting 1976. I feel your pain!🤣

47 years in the coal industry, I feel your pain! Love the details that you do to make everything like a factory install. Keep up the great work!

See tools in the car like that reminds me of my repair in the 80s. I always kept a couple tools in the door like that, just in case. Once a week or so after having car repaired, I was cleaning it. Found 3 small Snap-On wrenches in with my tools. I knew they weren't mine, as I only got Craftsman back then. I went back to repair shop(small shop) and found guy who worked on my car. He was very happy that I brought them back. He'd been looking for days. Wasn't sure where they were. He was so happy, gave me free oil & filter change next time in.

always enjoy your videos. Informative and sometimes humorous. He got it up, then he got the window up.😁

innuendo at 0:20... like button smashed at 0:21 LOL Thanks for the video Erk. :)

Eric Growing up I worked in my Grandfather's garage. My Dad and uncle worked there, so I would get into trouble because I would forget which tool box I got something out of. So most days one of the three would jump my butt for something. So I know your pain because my son's would do it to me. I think it get passed down from one generations to the next.

Yeah its true Eric we like to look at her ! you lucky dog !

If the water shield goo is sticking really well and not wanting to come off I have found that if you stretch it out a little bit then cut in in the middle with a utility knife it works really well. Leaves half on the door and half on the shield that way it is super easy to re-install and sticks good.

Nice job! Lisle makes some of those suction window hold up tools. I own a set and they work very well.

GM team SMA & thanks for the vijeau!

Nice ! Monday video to start the week off right! Luv me sum SMA video❤

Glad to see the problems I have with these (as a home wrench) are fairly universal. As I was watching I was thinking the only difference with a pro is there is no blood. Then there was blood.

I have a 65 Chevelle hardtop and the door glass has bolts that go through the glass with nylon grommets and threaded washers! Scarey! but they work!

I'll be 76 this year, retired 8 years ago today, no April Fools joke. Ya, Mr. O, as my Mom said when I was younger and mentioned a pain, "You've only just begun!" I still do vehicle work at home, yard work, "some" house and appliance repair. But you must keep active once you get in your 60's and 70's, otherwise......well, it's not good! Chiropractic and my Bowflex are two of several things that have helped me get this far. That vehicle looks to be the most complete window regulator assembly I've seen. Good work Mr. O!

I have about 10 years on ya and started wrenching in a salvage yard at 15, had a similar issue in my paws about two years back and don’t have the option to not work, tried everything from pills to acupuncture and finally after extensive blood tests a specialist said my testosterone levels should be higher and now with an injection every three days all the issues are gone and I’m stronger now than in my thirties.

Goes up pretty good now even though it is cold.

Well this is the best part of not being able to sleep. I just turn on the TV on and BAM another episode of South Main Auto, the MAGICIAN. Work your magic!

Some years ago, I had that zap feeling in my forearm. It turned out to be a pinched nerve in my spine. Eventually I couldn’t open my pinky, ring finger and index fingers. Had to have spine surgery to remove the bone spur inside the vertebrae. Took about a year to get motion back in those fingers. All’s good now.

Now that’s a real man window regulator 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
