Rebuilding a cursed Buick Enclave 

Wiring harness matter. My driver's door got killed in a storm. Body shop replaced the door. Everything seemed OK until winter. Trim level on my car was SEL. Used door came off an SE. Both had power mirrors. The difference came into play during an Illinois freezing rain on the tollway. SEL had defrosting mirrors. SE did not. Body shop had long since sent the old door to the scap heap. But he made good on the repair by ordering a new and correct harness. Problem solved.

Nice job, Scott. It's a testament to how well you do things that customers keep coming back. As your shirt says, Drive, Crash, Fix, Repeat....

I love how meticulous you are, no matter what you're fixing!

Keeping skin on your fingers is something any mechanic can identify with.Being safe is something you demonstrate very well. Live long and prosper!

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I needed to access the lock in the tail gate of my truck and knew how to do it from watching your videos. Screw the haters. I'm appreciative of what you do.

26:00 like the Doppler effects as the train passes by in background.

Awesome repair Scott, your customers are lucky to have a guy like you and a spotty.

Nice to see someone who does quality work, so many hackers out there that love body fill... small amounts to refine something is fine

You should do a video on how to remove all the different fasteners. It would be a game changer for us commoners.

Hi from Ontario Canada, hope you have a great day.

Love these longer content scott, you’re attention to detail still amazes me and I’ve been following your channel for ages, great post scott

Always good to see a new video posting from you. Thought the Enclave looked good as new last time you worked on it. I've noticed the same defect on the liftgate on a Traverse the same color. I am trying to convince the wife it works better when the garage door is fully open. Hoping to see you finish the pickup that was beside the Enclave. thanks for sharing

the amount of 2 unskippable ads i had to sit through was torture, but this video was so worth it🤙🏻

Another one saved. Cheers Scott, nice one.

The wiring harness tip was great, thanks Scott!

The week wouldn't be over, without a vehcor video!

Great Job brother, I love the attention to detail

I enjoy your body repair videos you do. Lots of GM cars and trucks have changed over the years for removal of panels .

You do great work. I would not hesitate to buy a rebuilt car from you. Great attention to detail and to do the job right.

how nice is to see that someone who love cars done the proper job on yours..BRAVO SCOTT with a bunch of appropriate tools 😆👍😉

the best part is all of the free parts you got with the used door can go straight into the Scott's Enclave Emporium parts inventory!

Scott! I am surprised you didnt spray cavity wax into the door considering it was already apart! Anyway always appreciate your videos!

Scott once again amazing work and dialog Stay Safe God Bless All Y'all PS if You haven't had enough Winter yet be glad to ship You some. Snowfall has reached 51 feet !!!!!

Looks good! Also, looks like the Arkansas truck is almost done! Can't wait to see it.

Excellent work as always Scott.

It’s Friday! Great job Scott! Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in the next installment.

thank you for all these videos it encourage me to work on my own truck

Thanks for the video Scott.

Nice job , you’re a professional, I want to be like you when I grow up

Okay, so it's time-lapsed... but I'm still amazed at how well you know how these things come apart and go back together. You can do in an hour what might take me three (or more) in no small part because I'd be afraid of breaking every clip and plug. You may have done one or two of these before. Or - "somebody's been here before."

Let me know if you ever pass through Murfreesboro Tennessee God bless you are very skilled some people go through life, not knowing what to do but you have been blessed to find your calling

It's 5:00 AM here in Queensland Australia, where we don't have daylight saving, which I hate. The other Eastern Australian states go off daylight saving and back to normal time next Sunday. And I'm running late, because we just had two power outages, one through the night, the other one a few minutes ago.

I never thought of that thing with the part number on the wiring harness, good tip.

Awesome show Thanks

Great job car looks awesome enjoy watching your videos keep up the great work

I haven't seen a brake job with your magic hammer lately. BTW, I gave one of those to my nephew for Christmas and he has so far christened everyone and everything.

Turned out good the paint match looks good

Repeat customers! They know where to go. 😁 I could watch Vehcor rebuilds all day!!!

Feeling so inspired and positive after this video, thanks!

The clean freaks will be going crazy, re fitting the door mirror over all that polishing dust 😁😁😁😁

Nice job Scott!

Awesome work as always 👍🏼

The gloves were the crowning touch of this video. An old friend returns and now another job well done. I san see why your friends keep coming back. The job was done right.

Hello Scott welcome back !

You do things correct- that's awesome

I remember this vehicle from before. This is the one that Mr. Spotty fell asleep on the job and you put him on the pizza box and told the pizza girl to deal with him. Oh the memories. 😉

People usually criticize that particular SUV because of high price and issues with a lot of mechanical and electrical part but for some reason I still do like the design of it. Look nice. Good video as always. 👍

Great video, as usual.

Your great at what you do and xtra funny this video thanks for sharing Scott!!!!

Nice Job as always.

14:12 thank god you finally did that, my OCD was going into overdrive looking at that lol I don't normally have OCD either hahaha "umm scott...ah, SCOTT SCOTTTTTT the BUMPERRRR" lol

Finally a new video! After two weeks with no videos, I was starting to experience withdrawal

Thank you for all of us clean freaks for the pressure wash.

The full suspension job on these is very easy. Only a couple of hours to do all four corners in the driveway. Cheap too. Using KYB and AC Delco it was about $500 in parts.

I was so so glad to watch my daughters Buick Enclave go bye bye to another sucker to deal with the POC.

Nice job! I was expecting cavity wax in both of those doors, what gives?

I’m exited to see your shops not any cleaner than mine an I have that. Same mower in one of the vids. Go cub cadet!!

I'm here to see the belt molding installation tool at work. Never knew it had so many uses.

Mr Spotty apparently did the cavity wax on the RU-vid channel he left Scott to start. He shaved his head to increase his following! Scott, your vids are relaxing to watch, Thanks!

The two sided tap backet is not only a fun playting for the sea turtles, it's also a tasty snack!

Great job as usual, curious minds want to know. Do you prefer doing quick fixes like this. Are the more harder hit ones where you have to cuddle rocker panel or maybe the quarter? God bless

If you open up the module and clean them with alcohol. they will usually work again. Close them up and seal the module after they tested good.

The right facial expression is essential when doing a job like this, lol! Fortunately there's no camera on me when I am working.

WOO HOO! Another crash , fix , repeat! LOL Hello Scott!

This Enclave dutifully followed the commands on the Vehcor t-shirt: Drive. Crash. Fix. Repeat.

Hey you are almost at 200 thousand Subscribers good job.

nice work as usual

great Job!!

My kid brother crashed into the side of a tractor trailer at 5:30 in the morning in the dark, side of the trailer had no marker lights or reflective tape, kind of a bad set up for the grocery story loading dock blocked by bushes and a wall along the street so the kid came around a corner into basically a wall. It’s an 2008 Silverado 1500 LTZ with a lift and bumpers. Didn’t damage the frame, suspension, or any coolers or engine components. Just crushed in the hood- driver side fender, and the rad air or support bend and the whole top rail pulled the bolt inserts out. The cost for a hood, fender and undressed rad support in the correct color for a 15 year old truck threw a PRP yard- $1000 Like wow, I could have bought a whole truck for $3000

I see Mr. Spotty hiding in the corner of that jam . Peek aboo .

"I got my next job coming up as a hand model" 🤣😂

Nice job 👍👌

The door adjustment tool is missing from your Amazon store 😊😊😊

Scott, do you polish the paint after you are done? As always another cool build.

as a former GM tech I believe all GM Lambda platform cars are cursed.

Gotta love repeat customers!! Just like the shirt says.

I choked up a bit when you said about dirty part installation. ..ah yeah...oh do you charge extra for genuine dust?

My week is complete.

13:54 Why do junkyards use those solvent based markers on the body panels? Don't they know it eats into the paint and even after you clean it off, you can still see the outlines of the numbers on the fender.

Great Job!!! Thank You… :-)

Now there's going to be a rash of stollen Enclave modules now ... thanks Scott. 🤣 Duke boys blew the struts... let hope the engine oil's been changed or that's toast too.

Car repairing needs lots of faces. Especially when bolts are rust-welded on. Also more you use faces, more power you have on twisting, pulling and so on.

Amazing how many parts are required for such a small hit. Ya I know, welcome to the world of plastic cars. Good work, nice job, hope it lasts much longer.

Love your channel

I went to Harbor Freight and asked if they had any 'Scotts Belt Molding Installation Tools' . Girl looked at me like I lost my mind. I guess they dont sell emporium quality tools. Anyway, the Enclave looks new...again!

The only thing different i would have done is while the wing was off . i would have put the new strut on . less chance of scratching the newly painted wing . Good job either way .

Another great video. How much difference between this Buick and the GMC Acadia, other than the skin

When you adjust a bent door top, is it better to do it with the window up or the window down?

Hi Scott! Great vid as always. I have a Transit van with the same issue on the drivers door, caused by a lockout guy blowing it open with a balloon. I’m going to try to bend it out like you did on the Enclave.. my question is, should I do it with the window up, like you did, or have the window down? It’s been like this for a year and I haven’t attempted it yet because I was worried about breaking the window. Thanks!! 🇺🇸

Back in my day when we got a part to match the color of the car , it was call midnight auto sale

"STRUT NUTS"😂

Scott.... What brand of struts do you use or like. I'm about to order a set for my gm truck

About freaking time the channel went back to the GM Lambda platform roots. They always come back, don’t they?

The sea turtles love playing tug a war with tape backing! Since I live in the "Land of Rust and Corruption" as well. Where do you suggest to pick parts?

Its been too long! couldent wait any longer

Does replacement of the front struts require alignment? I know you farm that out, and if needed you do get it taken care of, just wondering for my own knowledge. That is what always concerned me, besides the extra cost of the struts, about FWD vehicles was having to pay for an alignment after replacing the front struts and now with my Silverado having the same type of set up I am not looking forward to replacing the front strut assembly.

I watched this a little late at night and I watched some of it more than once. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. WELL any way here is my question With it taking the hit were it did was there any suspension damage? I know you changed the struts.

Hey Scott.. How would you rate these vs something like an Acura MDX? Which one do you like more? Which one is more reliable? Which one is easier to work on? etc. Any thoughts

Where are the springs for the front suspension?

I am thinking of bidding on a wrecked lbz that was hit in the lower drivers side and ripped the wheel off and bent the front of the frame slightly in, and the passenger wheel is straight but the steering wheel is crooked and I was wondering if you you know what would be causing that
