Window Regulator on the Grand Caravan

[Joefox97]

This is, what I call the Queens Chariot. I think I work on this more than all my trucks combined. About a month ago, my wife told me she went out to go somewhere, and the driver's window was down, and would roll back up. So I took the door apart and found the cable window regulator had broke, or exploded more like. Someone been into this before me and broke tabs off the carrier (inner door panel). Parts were special order. Took a month to get them in. Left the truck in my shop so it wouldn't rain into the interior. Got the parts in today and put it back together. Went together so easy, I thought something was put in wrong. But all works very well. Still worries me. Like putting Legos together. You drop it and you have to find all the pieces, and put it back together.

I have a total disliking for removing door panels. I dont know why, its just screws, nuts bolts and fasteners. Must be because every time I mess with one of them things, other pieces break.
There is a friend, owns a shop that specializes in restoring vehicles. He is the best in the west, when it comes to anything door panels, dial his number, HEY BUDDY, OLD PAL ? ? ? ?
That is his name.

Lol! My beef about doors is there isn't enough room to get enough hands in to do the job. And I come out all scratched up.

Ooooh yeah. Scratched and bloody and scarred. And then, at an older age the skin gets thinner and blood thinners and then there be these blood bruises where a bump occurs.

Another engineering defeat.

Why all the clips and stuff? A few good old fashioned screws could do the job better

I agree. But they would put them where you can't get a driver on them.
