Start your long day with a fresh K-Cup of RRR premium blend coffee!
Our “Common Sense” brew of coffee is a medium roast (1/3 Java and 2/3 Brazil). It’s low acidity, full bodied, and has a kickin’ taste, and it just makes sense.* You might pick up on a caramel or chocolate taste with this one.
“Manic Morning” is our medium dark offering. (½ Java and1/2 Kenya AA). Balanced sweet and bold, and higher acidity. This is the brew for those who like the taste of coffee, without adding tons of sweetener or cream!

”Intro Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio”
Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
Anyone else notice ray forgot to plug the speaker back in after removing and replacing the panel the second time?
Look like a small cat eye I only say that yo make ppl mad😂
Ray you are the best
Great video, perfect example of a diy fix someone can do at home.
I sure miss that Old Phone ring tone !
I must know where you got the bungee with the suction cups. Please.
2:35
Or just put a lock or a latch on it? Lol
Renault use the exact same system on their saloons, I had to replace several of these on mine. Either the plastic clips snap, or in my case, moisture rusted the cables until they snapped and unwound, and the glass goes bye byes into the bottom of the door.
That truck is in amazing shape for 24 years old, wouldn't mind it for myself.
That glass cleaner is the best, beats the blue spray hands down.
i actually replaced a motor regulator and motor on my truck earlier this year
Had to replace my right rear window regulator on my BMW E46 in the spring. Wasn't bad at all. But I also decided to replace the front ones "while I was at it". And that was more of a doozy with airbags in the doors and everything.
You have a link to the glass cleaner you used at the end of the video!?
Where does the few German words came from? ^^
Only bad I seen was you left some of the white plastic in the bottom of the door,you probably couldn't see it but your camera did.enjoyed the video as always
I always called them wing windows never heard them call anything else
Having the tools is half the job.
Lol “ gotta kiss the trash “
Very conferring watching you do stuff Ray , been watching since you was at dealership glad you’re doing great in your own shop 👍👌🇬🇧
Come on Ray quit petting the truck and let's get busy and get that regulator out
More lube on new sliders, heat gun gently on plastic vapour barrier. Awesome sauce sir!
Canadiastan? Canuckystan! 🙂
Ray is a Droid created by a mad scientist to repair anything. Vehicles are what he was programmed to do BUT Ray has alternate subroutines that can repair UFO's, Nuclear submarines, undersea turbines, and satellites of all kinds just to mention a few. He is programmed to make mistakes here and there to lend to this authenticity as a human. He has no smell and does not sleep. Rainman is his code name, given to him by his programmer. He also has built in solar skin that absorbs light to keep his batteries charged. Amazing piece of technology actually. shhhh, don't tell anyone.
Y don't you ever lube those slides so it does not Fail in one year?
Typical mechanics finger repair,blue paper towel and black electrical tape (although I find blue works better)
I'm not terrified to work on most things put window rollers scare the heck out of me! Too much geometry in there for my liking. 😂
ah yes… good old wind wings… 😊
"Can't get the actual phone ringer" There must be a fan crazy enough to raid the old shop and replace their ringer with a new one. 😉
That little squeak when lowering the window sounded just like my smoke alarm low battery chirp. Had me going there for a moment! And hello again Al Gor-Rhythm.
Those little windows
Sometimes called vent windows
Would help with keeping you cool in the rain and keeping the windshield clear
Long wat fwd from the 70s/80s: had to drill out rivets…regulator scissors type with nylon rollers…door panels with nylon grip pop-ins that needed replacement: ..I
suggested to installing rivnuts and use stainless steel attach hardware upgrade for those nylon retainers…later years towards 90s that became the forerunner of this video design…never got any recognition or bonus for my idea…quit working for factory dealers by 1988…now retiree at almost age 75…just gonna do my own vehicles now!

Thx for your tenacious skills!
God is good
to you R&R man!
l drive a Holden 1969 HK Prem Wagon it has the front vent windows .l love em…cheers from Down Under..
I hate working on door panels for anything…. they always seem to have the sharpest edges that will take of skin faster then a japanese ginsu knife… on a dislike scale I give them a solid 9.25 next to visiting your family dentist for a root canal…. 🙂 Great job Ray…. You minimized the blood loss with skillful prestidigitation of the window regulator…. P.S. to Ray…. the old 1970's Mercedes Benz used a gear drive for the wing windows…. they were bomb proof….
Ray discovers new game to play with the Wife Unit…..Spin the Electric Ratchet.
You can tape the plastic cover in if you want to….I would have chosen bubble gum.
Wondering if Dorman makes replacement window slider clips for the OEM regulator….
I see the 10mm socket is missing from that set.
I like how much easier the window assembly was to change also the door panel.
A money-saving tip for Ray: Buy paper towels that come with perforations for multiple individual, small towels. That way you won't have to get a whole new roll for each window. You are welcome! 🤣
Good job Ray. Always like watching your videos, and the way you make it looks so easy, while letting us know that we aren't the only ones that make mistakes. BTW, I'd like to know what product you used to clean the glass. I think someone got Armorall or something on the inside of the windshield and nothing I used will get the stuff off. Just smears it all over.
You could have glued the plastic back in a few selected places, IMHO that's skipping.
What annoys me is a perfectly functional regulator has to be discarded because some rocket scientist engineer decide a 10 cent piece of plastic would be fine instead of making a metal one for another 5 cents
Good job Ray you inspired me to fix the regulator on my wife’s car when you did one a few years ago😀
Just a small post to hopefully please the algorithm deity who will shower their algorithmic goodness on the channel. 👍
Oh sure, make it look so easy! I had this exact problem with both windows on my '00. It was parked for over a year because of that, I just expected it to be much more difficult than that! I should have known better, Chevy = Legos for big boys. 🙂
