Yeah, it's amazing how *effortless* the windows go up and down now.

Then I remember that the cars are hitting THIRTY years old!

It wasn't that power window motor that did it, it was me upon reinstallation of the glass, it was a stupid brain fart

Luckily for me, a local fella hooked me up with a new used glass!

Ted, I am telling you, applying direct current to those motors opened my eyes. Installing relays (with dedicated power to them) is a must. Windows went up and down just as fast as my wife's 2011 GTI, or pops 2015 car!

Its not like I need more projects, but those relays are going in the never ending "to do list"
