I knew you will conquer this little mishap in no time. With you there is no messing around. You get an idea in your head and it's done. Getting through little mishaps without panic and woe is me is another reason your Channels are far and away the best. Don't ever change Simon , you are 1 in 1,000,000,000.00
I’m so impressed by your ability to take on just about any task needed. Sewing, carpentry, engine repair, General automotive repair… Good dog owner… Very impressive indeed. Glad you got your window fixed.
Busted auto glass is always a pain to totally remove completely. Glad there was an auto wrecker nearby and had the parts you needed. .. Cheers to you. ..
Excellent news, thank goodness for you being a Renaissance man and a junk dealer nearby. On this end, weather is smoldering outside but I FINALLY threaded my (2nd hand) NECCHI sewing machine and it is WORKING...on to learning and making. Be safe, kisses to Rocko, she is a keeper.
I’m really happy for you that you got it done so quickly. Going to a wrecking yard was definitely the way to go. $400 to replace your window was definitely a rip off. Take care see you next video. 🙂
Nice work. Love the diy attitude. What about using something sticky to pick up the glass bits? Silly putty, play dough, a rag with some spray adhesive on it or something. Just spit ballin'
I’ve got a healthy respect for your ability to take life in stride. That weight of why me and how come can really drag a person down. You’re a good role model on how to hang onto the towel rather than throw it in. Well done.
Assuming that bad things happening are a personal attack sounds like it would be a large psychological burden. I find it easier to assume it's random and also remember that other people often deal with far worse and find ways to carry on. I'd rather focus on goals than problems 😁.
You are a constant inspiration to us all. You tackle difficult projects without a hint of hesitation. I have the utmost respect for your can-do attitude. You seen to embody the true frontier spirit. March on.
Great job. Another problem quickly solved by Foresty Forest skills and tenacity. See a problem and attack it from many different angles. Happy that you, Rocco and your van are safe from the elements again
Oh man…. Glad you got it all fixed up. Perhaps a thin stick wrapped with double sided tape or regular tape sticky side out, can grab some of those remaining shards of glass? iDK, just a quick thought. Cheers from sweltering Pennsylvania!!
I paid 10 dollars on ebay for a toy motor to fix my window in my Honda Civic. You are doing the good work, dude. You do so well with keeping above the curve and not getting ripped off.
I am so pleased you and the pup are sorted and safe. I did wonder where you were going to find a custom pane of glass. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures, you take me place I would never have seen in my life time - thank you x
Great to see your's and Rocko's home made safe from the elements, and that you're able to return to conquering the great heights of Canada and sharing your adventures with the world. Go well young Foresty.
Pumped for the quick happy update. Foresty Forest can do anything. Try Slime on the end of a stick to pick up the glass fragments. Cleaning Slime clears dust and debri out of the smallest & awkward areas.
Yay!! Fantastic news and just the cats azz that you found one at the wreckers for a fraction of the price the dealership wanted. I'm over here doing my happy dance for you and Rocco!! 🙋♀Can't wait to hear how your big adventure goes. Stay sane, stay lovely! 🥰
One day I concluded luck and fortune must have different meanings because dictionaries always include some confused definitions. Luck is when what we don't expect happens. Fortune is when what we wish for happens.
Nice job. Being able to source cheap parts at the wreckers is a big advantage to owning an older common vehicle. You'll be finding bits of tempered glass for as long as you own the van. Seems impossible to vacuum up all that stuff. Enjoy your hike!
What a pain! Glad you found the parts. I had to replace my window and it cost me two days to find the parts, $150 to buy them, four hours to install them and two bouts of tears yo get through the frustration.
I suggested going to the scrapyard in your first video - nice to know it worked out. Don't be afraid to try the scrapyard when you need parts. It's often a lot cheaper than the dealer and often times there is nothing wrong with the parts in the scrapyard. I use the scrapyard to keep my rusty Toyota running for a fraction of the price it would otherwise. Stay awesome Foresty.
FYI - you just proved my point ! Just bought a 2022 GMC 3/4 ton van. WHY ? Parts are on every corner, every junk yard, every auto parts stores everywhere ! “Just in case”. And yes, everyone knows heavy duty 3/4 ton work vans go 300+ thousand miles. Basically work mules.
Wreckers are amazing, I needed a part for a 4wd, dealer wanted $800 new, specialty wreckers wanted $300, I discovered it was a shared part with a much more common vehicle, $10 from general wreckers for the win
someone commented in the previous video that window tint film stops this "safety glass" from working as it should.... fragmenting into small pieces instead of razor sharp shards. It does not... in fact it contains some of the flying glass bits. You end up with a mat of small glass fragments instead of a huge shower of glass fragments. I know this from several previous experiences. Sometimes auto glass can pop from heat and maybe a minute stress crack or fracture? I had a car window do this in a parking lot on a hot day... I first thought is was broken by a bullet or BB/Pellet but no exiting bullet/projectile found... I happened right when I opened the door and the car was very hot inside.
You should be able to remove drain plugs on bottom of door. Stick the vacuum over the holes, then bump on the door with your hand. Helps shake the glass loose while the vacuum pulls it out. Glad you got it fixed so quickly though.
400 BUCKS!!? I get my 'front' windshield replaced for under 300. Good find and onward to adventures for you and Rocko and no worries of mosquitoes attaching while you sleep.
