Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor Heat Nor Gloom Of Night...


...could get my window back up after the switch broke over a month ago.


We were low on money so I consulted my guru and watched some men on YouTube replace their switches. Seemed simple enough so I ordered the switch for 50 bucks. We were forced to battle the elements until the part came in.


It was delivered in a box that seemed much too large but I was delighted to find the correct part AND see I wouldn't have to remove the switch from the little panel. It all came together!


I unplugged those wires, plugged em back into the new switch and dropped the panel in the door. It was the proudest I've been of myself in quite awhile.


And VOILA! Just like new! (Don't worry. I replaced the panel fully and screwed into place after I tested the window. I thought that would be smarter and you know how I'm into smarts.) My life will never be the same. This is big, people!



The kids weren't very impressed but they are happy they don't have to ride to school like this anymore.


And yes, we do love a nice velour and sateen finish blanket. Thank you very much.

I had a Buick with a non-working power window for YEARS. Thankfully it was stuck in the up position.

Good job!
