Window Fix It Thingy

[Ray Rodriguez]

Is there anyways to check if the fix it thingies are installed or the updated ones without taking the whole door panels off? THANKS

Hi Ray,

Sorry, the only way is to pull them off for a visual inspection.

HTH,

I thought maybe there was a way just to peek in there , oh well THANKS

it's not that hard to take out the panels. There's instruction somewhere in the forum.

I read the instructions & saw the pictures. Im just worried that I might not be able to put it back in the original condition.

One trick I use is when I remove the door panel, before I go near it with any tool, I cover the switch cover (metallic gray plastic panel) with wide blue painters tape. That will protect it from any scratches.

HTH,

I just checked mine. They had updated regulators in already.

The door panels really are pretty easy to get off since they are screwed on rather than those stupid plugs that other cars have.

Don't hesitate in doing it. While I was in there I took the whole door apart and cleaned out the window guides. The drivers side window was very slow. This was the dirtiest job I have done in a long time. Nasty lithium grease etc.... all gunked up in the guides.

The window goes up 2 to 3 times faster now. Whole job took probably 4 hours.

I have the fixit thingies on hand myself. Maybe you can watch me remove the door panel to see how everything goes. I might try to do it sometime this weekend. If I do, I'll give you a call.
