How do I fix my front driver side automatic windows without going to a mechanic or dealership?

windows driver


I bought a 2007 Civic Sedan and my automatic windows (front driver side) is off alignment when I try to roll it up. The glass portion seems to pop out slightly and won’t close properly. When this happens, the window doesn’t fit into the slot. At first I didn’t notice until I kept hearing airflow from that area when driving. If I push (force) the window inwards, it will close properly. As you could see, this is very inconvenient!

Maybe there’s a rock or some other obstruction where I can’t see? Maybe somebody tried to break into the car by pulling the windows?

Does anybody know what’s wrong with the windows? How would I fix this? I want to see if I could fix this myself first before doing my last resort option of seeing mechanic.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

How to add a second alternator?

Tuesday 24 November 2009 @ 4:18 am
vin 7


I have a 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited Sedan and the engine is a 5.7L 350ci 1987-1993 VIN# 7 with a CS 130 alternator stock. I would like to add a second alternator for my sound system without removing my A/C compressor. Once the second alternator is in I know how to connect the second battery and ground it properly. I just don’t know where to mount a second alternator and how I would run the belt and stuff in that area of the job.

How is this done and is this a job for a do it yourself type?
If not, then what would be a ball park price for a job like this?
Does anyone know of a shop that can do this type of work in the Metro Detroit area?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
i would love to upgrade my alternator but it can not be upgraded to 450 amps
i have a sound system that needs 250 amps @14.4 volts and 300 amps @ 12 volts. and my car needs 105 amps to run




Will giving the last 7 digits of your VIN be a security issue?

I need to order this part off this website but they ask for the last 7 digits of my VIN to assure 100% that I’m given the correct BMW part. Would this be a security problem?
