Window Regulator Motor Torque Puck Install - 65 Thunderbird Convertible Restoration Ep #47 

Thanks. You have shortened my learning curve by leaps and bounds.

Glad you're back. Three Birds, hey you can never have too much of a good thing. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.

I am bringing back a 1965 convertible and agree Bird Nest is the best, fast shipping and excellent customer service, and thanks for the videos!

Enjoying watching you fabricate and repair. We have a 64 hard top.

Well done Alvin! I know I learned that it’s very simplistic and I’ll use this video on my son’s 65. And I’ll check out this birds nest that I’ve never heard of. Thanks again, and as always I look forward to your next video.

Great video Alvin! It made the preload question easily understood. Thanks for the mention! Wrench-on brother!

Really cool video Alvin - great stuff and great demonstration !!!

Great video 👍 sure appreciate you sharing your skills with us

Hello Alvin. Real nice job on those marshmallow pucks. Can't wait to see what you discover with the new 65. George B. In Michigan

Alvin, Another good job, my friend. Window regulators have always been my nemesis, manual or power. It looks like mine (manual) will need to come out, but I'll delay that mess as long as possible. Regards, John

Nice video for those who have never worked on these regulators before. I agree about Bird Nest. They are great folks. I dealt with Tbird HQ for many years and have nothing against them. Bird Nest will take the time and help you with the little stuff as their staff is very knowledgeable. I first worked on the 66 Thunderbird regulator in 1971 when I hit a huge pothole on the right side of my hardtop. It must have flexed the body enough to jam the right window and it quit working. I took it apart and the factory gear was rubber which had split. I got a replacement gear at the ford dealer and it looked like the one you are working on here. BTW it was like $36.00 at the time and my part time high school job paid about a$40 a week so it was a big investment. Lol. I bought that 66 five window hardtop at a Ford dealer in Pauls Valley Oklahoma when the original owner traded it. I paid 900 dollars in 1970. Gasoline at the local Hudson Hornet station was 18.9 for regular and 19.9 for premium. The car was Mariner turquoise with parchment leather interior. It had AC PW and P/seat. Wish I had that same car now. Good times.

I put in the door and rocker plugs in the greater scheme of the work you done on your car putting in the plugs will mostly amount to easy peasy, though they require a little more than ordinary effort.

Wow, nice video good to see you again! on my '65 I have three steel ball bearings on my window motor..... So are you starting a TBird rescue? you have 3 now! Well God bless you and have a great week!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks. I don't know about that Nick guy, he's a weirdo!

can you measure the diameter and height of the window pucks when you have a minute. Txs

I also need advise on ac evapator. I have the dash out now . Should the evapator be replace.
