Wanted to throw a few bucks your way to show appreciation for many years of inspiring videos!! Keep fighting the good fight my man, the world's a better place with people like you in it!! 🍻
You rock I appreciate the offer but please don’t do that…. I don’t know if you’re aware of it but I invented a bracket for the Chevy equinox…. That at the moment has maybe lessened my financial woes…….. only time will tell but the words mean more to me than the money ever would…. I swear to God I mean that. I was going to mention you in a video the other day but I didn’t end up making the video where I was removing a wheel bearing on the back and I was going to use your pipe wrench rotor trick….. but unfortunately sometimes there’s just no time to make videos and that really sucks because I do some pretty cool stuff….
@@sharpcarco I hear ya! I find myself doing the same thing, but it can be a hassle setting up the phone to record when you least expect it. I promise I won't send any more donations!! 😁 Just my way of metaphorically buying you a round of beers (or half a beer once RU-vid gets its cut!! 🤣) Anyways, Cheers!! 🍻
Be sure to fully roll down the window before trying to “flex “ the door to the correct alignment. There is a definite risk of shattering the glass when doing this technique, because the glass will not bend If too much oblique stress is placed on it. It won’t bend like the metal door frame, it will just shatter.
WE use to do this at a body shop I worked at in the 80's. To test the fit was to put a dollar bill in the door area being fixed. If the bill dragged when pulled out you were good to go
Sometimes those stricker plate latch pins wear, causing it to change adjustment, without anyone messing with them. Seems like i see more of it out in the wild west, where dirt road Dale's are making rooster tails of dust, the dust sticks to the grease in the door latch and then identifies as valve lapping compound, wearing away the latch pin.
This is one of those moments when somebody tells you something and it can’t be more obvious but still somehow never thought of it your door frame is bent now what? Bend it back!
I know I have lots of days like that trust me…… a lot of of us are ignorant until we’re not… it’s a damn good feeling especially when something is so simple. You’re like why didn’t I think of that? Same thing happened to me like four days ago when this guy showed me how to use his belt to remove an oil filter that was stuck …. I felt exactly the same way.
Don't forget to roll the window down and do that you can you can bust that window if I had a pretty easy so roll the window down to make it easier to bend that frame that's what you're doing
You don’t owe me anything Pat I’m happy to have you here next time you see a stranger in need just help them out just like I would its payment enough for me God bless brother
Hope this solves my problem. The air is getting very annoying. Couldn’t figure out why I had a gap there. Is a lock out the only thing that could have caused this gap?
@@sharpcarco finally had time to try this today. I’d say it’s 95% fixed. Hafta give it a couple more pushes I think but the wind noise is gone and now the door is sitting flush. Thank you
Wow jusy saw the tumbnail of what looks like a fusion, which I proudly own a '09, and found a solution to a problem I had but havnt looked into fixing yet. If you have more fusion related tip i am subscribing
I do fusion stuff but you’re gonna find the most vehicles are the same…. Most of the tricks that I show in my videos will work on anything. And if I’m working on a Ford because Ford is a company and they wanna make products you’re going to find the procedures and most of the parts are fairly interchangeable or at least the procedures are interchangeable from vehicle to vehicle because companies make a lot of money by producing as many parts as possible that will interchange over different cars meaning engineers will engineer things the same way even though it’s a different car because somethings just have to work well on everything so they’re pretty much the same thing
Air Leak being fixed by bending the door frame? Proceed with CAUTION whoever watches this... inspect your weatherstrip around the door and check that first... bending frame is NOT an effective way to fix wind noise and air leak (if you experience hearing it while driving at higher speeds).
Sorry, I forgot that people don’t think often to check the door rubber first I was trying to make a quick video but hopefully it makes you feel better with your comment..
