Default Power windows

Can't come up with enough cuss words for working on windows. Felt like cutting that aluminum panel in half.

Lay a towel in the bottom of the door. That way it has a soft landing when it drops down. My doors are completely gutted at the moment. Not looking forward to re-assembly. Lol

I hate that clip on the door lock rod when you have to remove it, other than that the rest of the job doing the ribbon sucked.

I bent the aluminum piece enough to pull it out enough to remove lift. Just unhooked the power lock link. Could not get glass all the way out, something sticking out would not pass thru slot. Got a couple wood wedges holding it up. And the mopar ribbon will work.

When the motor gives out, go ahead and do the newer style upgrade. The scissor style is quicker and more positive up and down. You can adjust the scissor to where it is a lot easier to get in and out. I also did the foam hush panel and it makes the door sound more solid and does reduce noise.
