Well I got my new old roller brackets from Detmatt (thanks again!) and went to do my 1/4 window installation today with the help of my lovely wife. Ran the regulator all the way to the top so that I could insert the glide track into the door with a little more room, and then install the glide track through the two brackets and bolt it back up before I had a rip at the spring nuts and the regulator arm rollers. While I had my left hand in the door cavity to make an adjustment, I managed to put my right elbow onto the window switch, and guess what? I DID NOT DISCONNECT THE ******* BATTERY AFTER I POSITIONED THE REGULATOR IN THE UP POSITION !
Now, given that the switch was face down on the floor behind the drives seat, there are only two things that can happen. #1- the arms go up until they hit the stops, no harm no foul, or #2, the arms go straight down and crunches the hand of the idiot who DID NOT DISCONNECT THE ******* BATTERY!
Replacing the 1/4 window power motors and all the other stuff they have stuffed into that tiny space is the worst job ever! No question! Mopar must have used ambidextrous chimpanzees to install them at the factory and given how much of a PITA this process has been and given that the number of hours spent on this, you would think the Mopar Gods would have said, "Give the guy a break, he is a ******* IDIOT yes we know that for sure, but lets give him a break" and have his errant right elbow hit the switch in the up position. Oh no, not the idiot from British Columbia!
Needless to say, when I yanked my hand out, with significant loss of flesh and blood, my wife, (who thankfully is a retired Registered Nurse) calmly pointed out "didn't you DISCONNECT THE ******* BATTERY?"
I am going out to the back yard to rake some leaves, it is quite a bit safer. I will clean up the blood in the garage later. C Shaft
