QUICK CAR TIP - Is Your Car Door Glass Window Falling Down? Fix It Instantly with Mini Suction Cups

Electric car door windows are great when they work, but if the window regulator breaks, or the window "jumps track," you've got a mess on your hands. An emergency can occur at any time, so here's a simple car tip to help you get through this emergency. 

Purchase a set of three (3) window suction cups (1 to 2 inches) from an office supply store, department store, or drug store - and keep them in your glove box. Remove the metal clips to prevent damaging or scratching the glass. 

To insert the suction cups...

1. Pulled the glass upward with your hands to the full-stop position. If you can not reach the glass, you must remove the door panel and manually push the glass upwards. Be careful and keep your fingers away from the track mechanism.

2. Place the suction cups on the inside bottom edges of the window and in the middle as shown in the illustration above. Move the window trim back so that the edge of the suction cup drops-down into the molding. 

3. Readjust the suction cups as required - every 3 or 4 days from road vibrations and air pressure from outside.

4. Get the window regulator repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage of your car's interior from rain, dirt, or road debris. You'll also be surprised to know how important door windows are in terms of gas milage, control of your A/C and heating systems, and for your overall safety.

5. Do not use duct tape to hold your glass up. The sticky adhesive from the tape can cause additional mechanical problems for your window mechanisms, and can lead to extensive body damage during tape removal.

BROKEN SNAP-ON HAMMER Makes Excellence Oil Sending Unit Removal Tool for 1991 and Newer GM Engines

There's nothing worst at destroying a perfectly good engine than a leaky oil sending unit. The problem developed  after an oil change when it was discovered - oil pouring from the rear of the engine on a 1995 S10 Chevy pickup truck. Unfortunately, we did not have the tool (Lisle 13250 Oil Pressure Switch Socket) to remove this leaky sending unit, so the decision was made to shatter the plastic unit with a hammer and grab the metal base with a socket and remove it. 

To break the sending unit, we placed the metal end of an old broken Snap-on plastic hammer  (HPT16 Orange Plastic Handle) into the sensor electrical terminal slot - when suddenly we realized that the end of the hammer slipped into the slot forming a snug fit. The upper end of the hammer  became a T-handle and the sensor was un-screwed out of the engine block with ease. Of course the electrical terminals of the old sensor was bent, however it was not going to be used anyway. 

What a surprising discovery we found! 

For safety concerns and to prevent damage to electrical components, we recommend that you always use the specified tool for doing this job. The purpose of this blog was simply to remind you that a little common sense and some ingenuity are still excellent tools to keep in any toolbox.

HOW TO REPLACE WINDOW REGULATOR on 2007 Chrysler Sebring - Window Dropped Down Into Door on Left Driver Side

What do you do when your car window fall down into the door? You get it up immediately to prevent rain, crooks, and thieves from entering your car. This blog shows a video I found on YouTube describing exactly what I did to fix this problem. The video provide tips on tools and precautions before attempting this repair.

The replacement window regulator cost less than $75 with $10.00 shipping charge when purchased online through a local vendor. After following the video above, it was so easy to install. I suggest that you take your time when releasing the white clips from the glass, and remove the entire glass from the door. 

Don't worry about breaking the white plastic clips during removal. The new window regulator comes with pre-assembled clips, tracks, and cables. 

Remember to lubricate the window tracks, rubber trim moldings, and felt trim liners that rubs against the glass with a quality silicone spray  lubricant. Do not use oil to lubricate rubber parts, it will deteriorate the rubber.  

It's really easy - give it a try!

2005 PORSCHE CAYENNE BATTERY REPLACEMENT - Easy Repair Guide for Do It Yourself Car Owners

There was no video on YouTube on how to change out a battery in the 2005 Porsche Cayenne, so I'm having to depend on the owners manual for removing the battery. The owners manual suggests that you start by turning off all accessories before battery removal.

The battery is located under the driver's seat. The removal includes...
1. Removing the trim covering the front seat mounting bolts, and then removing the two front seat bolts.

2. You will need a 10MM 12 Point star wrench (male-type) to remove the front seat bolts. The tool cost me $4.50 at NAPA Auto Supply stores.

3. After removing the two screws, move the seat forward and then tip the seat backwards to gain access to the battery case entrance.

5. Lift the carpeting at the lower seat base and remove the carpeted battery cover by pulling outward and then upward on the carpeted battery trim that covers the battery.

6. Disconnect the battery vent hoses and remove the battery hold-down clamp and bolt.

7. Remove the negative battery terminal and then the positive terminal - now remove the battery.

The replacement battery was ordered from O'reilly's Auto Parts - it was the Super Start Extreme #94REXT - with 750 CCA, 20Ah Rate 80.

8. Reverse the removal procedures to install the new battery

9. Keep in mind that batteries produce and explosive hydrogen gas when charging. Do not create a spark when handling tools or when removing terminals or connecting or removing battery charging equipment.

10. That's about it! You're done!

MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR CAR - Ridesharing with UBER!

Uber is a ridesharing service that uses its own smartphone app to connect passengers with drivers. Uber offers metered and time-based taxi pricing. All payments are handled by credit cards through Uber. Uber suggests a no tipping rule, however passengers who wish to tip may do so through cash transactions with the driver. Uber prides itself on easy use of technology, lower costs, punctuality, safety and convenience of drivers and passengers, and vehicle comfort.

Where is Uber Currently Available? Huge list of Cities That Allow Uber Services - Click Here!

Uber actively recruits drivers on Craigslist/Facebook and make claims to potential drivers of $90,000 per year. According to job recruitment ads I've seen, drivers generally take home 80 percent of the fares collected - not including gas, insurance, and car maintenance. Top Uber drivers in major metropolitan cities reported earnings of $20 to 35 per hour in fares.

To be recuited as an Uber driver...

You must be 21 years old (23+ in some cities), have a 4-door car (2005 or newer), have a driver’s license, insurance, and "clean driving record."

Many traditional cab customers are turning to Uber for service because they like paying 15 to 30 percent less in taxi costs. If traditional cab services are going to compete with ridesharing services, they'd better step-up their game and include more high technology communication and tracking services, offer clean and luxury cars, provide friendly services, and lower their prices to be more inline with consumer demands. The biggest complaint with Uber drivers is that many are unfamiliar with locations, and sometimes must depend on passengers for directions and assistance. 

Count the costs for yourself! Uber is still a great option for both drivers and passengers alike!

HOW TO CLEAN AC DRAIN on 1994 - 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Easy Repair from Inside the Car!

Fixing Blocked AC Drain on 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csKXuR3DQHs

This blog is a compilation of videos I found  on YouTube to fix a problem with the AC drain on my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These videos were made by YouTubers based on what they did to fix their AC drain problem and is in no way considered a recommended repair procedure by Jeep. Please be warned that Jeep does not recommend any of the procedures found in these videos. These videos are intended to assist car owners in saving money on car repairs by doing the work themselves. Any damage done to your vehicle by following these videos is at your own risk!

WK Jeep Grand Cherokee - AC Drain Fix (2005-2010)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTi1-i4GRqY

Jeep recommends pulling the dashboard and removing the evaporator core from the housing as the method for cleaning and unclogging the AC drain. Keep in mind that prevention is always the best solution to this problem - try to avoid parking your car under trees with falling leaves or pine needles for prolong periods of time. These tend to work their way into the fresh air vents leading to clogged air conditioning drains. Any leaves trapped in the windshield wiper area should be hand picked away from your water drains.

Labor cost plus parts for pulling a dashboard and manually cleaning the evaporator case can cost you nearly $1,000. The methods in this video can be done by the average Do It Yourself (DIY) car owner in less than one hour at zero cost. If you feel that you have the tools and skills to attempt this repair - why not save some money by doing it yourself.

These videos helped me - maybe they will help you!
