    Since I've been driving the boss' F150 for the last 2 weeks trying to get it ironed out again I've let the GP sit for once. Came home today and saw that the pass. side front window was down about 1/4 of the way, after it was raining most of the day on and off...

    After checking it out and finding nothing was touched I went to roll the window up and it didn't move. Of course. Somehow the window regulator broke with it just sitting here in the driveway, lol... All I could do was clean up the water, tape the window up and laugh

    Got another regulator on order for tomorrow. I guess on the plus side it'll give me a chance to tighten up my Blues puddle light on that side since it worked loose a bit over the last year.

    maybe the window would have gone back up if you hadn't let it sit for the full two weeks. I have nothing scientific to back that up, just saying.

    Possible. Or it could start rolling down the other windows... Hopefully going to have the new reg. in tonight. Gonna pull the door switch apart and clean it out too since I'm sure it's full of water and will be the next thing to die.

    It's going back to daily status this coming monday since the plates are up on the truck at the end of Feb. and I'm still waiting on a downpipe/cat for it.

    New reg in and window working again. Also adjusted my puddle light so the logo faces the right direction again.

    No, luckily the GXP seats are leather so I just wiped them dry. The carpet along the edge of the seat/door area has finally dried up so I don't have the pull the carpet out again to fix this one. Really didn't want to have to gut the interior again to dry it up but would if I had too. Would suck getting the front seats out since they're not lightweight like the stock ones.

    Be thankful it didn't happen on a hot day. Hot leather and cold rain wrecks leather. Seen it a hundred times.

    You've lifted a 92-99 Bonneville SSEI AL7 seat haven't you? 80lbs.. and so darn comfy.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
