No need to worry about twisting the studs off the glass when tightening. If they twists off, just back off 1/4 turn and your good. Also I can't understand why you worry about breaking the glass. If it breaks you can just rewind the video and it goes back together. My wife has a friend who needed a wiper motor changed on her caravan and i decided not to do it because with my luck the glass would have broken. She went to the university of YouTube and became youTube certified and did it herself and all went well for her. This was a great video, lots of suspense just waiting for the window to break. Glad it didn't for your sake.

You really epitomize the need to constantly be thinking and paying attention to what's happening all through the job. The chance that you are often redoing or chasing someone elses job before you get to it requires a wider scope in the thought process. Those metal grommets were a prime example. one was one way and one the other. Good logic with the blend of intelligence and mechanical thinking applied. Excellent work Eric, love these videos! Thanks for all you do. Jim.

Oh man, lot of mincing about on that nut, big nasty would of tickled that off in nano seconds: -D
Would need wait for glass repair for refitting though lol: -P
Impacts can be pretty good on that sort of thing in light blips.
Why they can't use nylon or brass nut I no idea & no new fittings on replacement motors can be a show stopper: -(.
Job jobbed nicely mr O

The other thing I've observed is a shiny new SOUTHMAINAUTO plate! You've got bigger Kahoonies than me Eric, I don't swing on those things with a dirty big long ratchet or go near them with a hammer & we don't even get the rust issues you have! My number one on those is go straight to the rattle gun, do not pass go, do not collect 200!

I had to let my expedition soak with some pen oil for like a day with the window open just to get that nut off. I live in a Salt State too man. It sucks. I just cleaned up the shaft on mine and antisiezed the shit out of it. If only ford used sealed roller bearings for this instead of a shaft and brass bushings.

Working on auto glass can be exciting! I once tried to get an old school cell antenna off the back window on my 79 Caprice, stuck on good. So, I turned the screw driver a touch sideways to pry it off and. BOOM. there goes my back window in a million pieces. Scared the hell out of me!

In AvE fashion tappy tap tap, sitting in my chair with the cheeks clenched tight waiting for that window to break. Impact gun works well when you need to torque off a nut but you can't use a ratchet or a bar because the leverage may cause you issues.

My rear wiper doesn't work. The arm is all loosy-goosy and just hangs straight down. I can hear the motor try to engage when I turn it on. Could it be the motor or a different issue since it doesn't even stay up on the window?

No respect. even Eric's own WIFE doesn't watch his videos! :) You better never forget to take that faux license plate off a customer's car or you'll be paying somebody's hefty traffic ticket!
