Default Big hammer fixes everything!!

SO I dusted her off and got ready to wake her up from winter slumber. The last thing I had to do was fix the pass window. It got stuck in the 1/2 way down position on my last ride of last season. I pulled the armrest and padding and exposed the motor and it dawned on me.......rap it with a hammer....

wack wack. Hit the switch.....the motor hummed to life and the window went up.......did this several more times and it seems to be fine now........it would occasionally get stuck but a little tap would get it going again.

Needless to say I went onEGay this morning and purchased some window motors.....Im sure this hammer thing will only work fo so long........But at least I got it closed....spring is almost here.

I got the door tore apart, I ordered the motors (2 for 22 bucks on ebay) might as well replace them.

seems funny how you call it egay even though its the first place you go to to fix your car before any junkyard and anyother pace???

I call it Egay because I am an avid firearms collector and they just instuted this retarted 'no gun parts' policy. Dont get me wrong, I do tons of shopping on ebay. Im just really pised that I cant get collectable gun parts and accessories there anymore. Gunbroker is my only other alternative. (Auctionarms is a joke)

As far as junk yards are concerned......have you ever been to a junkyard here in the Northeast? Whats not rusted apart has been picked clean over. I can tell you every 3rd gen Camaro in every boneyard for 50 miles around. Id much rather pay 35 bucks for two brand new motors off Egay. [&:]
