Re: [Chrysler300] Cocktails? I'll Buy Dinner

Warning: To be able to buy Dinner, Ya gotta' be there!

Be very careful working with power window regulators, they are spring
loaded, and very powerful. I have a dent in my forehead from my "L"
regulator which unloaded in my hands. Yea, that's why I'm the way I am, save
your e-mail remarks!
I knew better, haveing worked on them for years and very aware of the
potential, but got a little careless (and a few beers didn't help).
Fortunatly, I was holding the reg in my hand when I took off the motor. That
arm shot up into my forehead and the reg spun out of my hand. If it had been
locked in a vice and culdn't fly away to use up the energy in that spring,
I'd be dead.
There is usually a hole in the reg body or the arm. Install a bolt in one or
both as a safety to prevent the spring from unloading all the way. What
holds the spring loaded arm in position is the motor, and when you take off
the 3 bolts holding the motor on and pull the motor off the reg, BAM!! I
also use serious vicegrips clamped onto the reg body until I can devote all
my attn to easing off the pressure.

If any of the above isn't clear, please ask, as it is very dangerious to
your careless self.
