Just grateful for another year

[PibbleMum]

After a super hectic first four months of 2019, took my 2000 LS out for a blowing out of cobwebs prior to the yearly inspection. I keep telling myself that it's crazy to keep it, but every time I take it out on open highway where 70 feels like standing still, I fall in love with it again. That said, inspection has passed and we have a new registration sticker. Yay! Need to replace the window regulators for the two front windows next... anyone have pro tips to share? I think I can do it myself. I'm good w wrenches and stuff. Kind of appalled at the lack of commentary by female car buffs on the net in general... except on this forum!

Only tip I can really give is to wear gloves and long sleeves when you do this otherwise a good chance your gonna skin your arms and hands up tightening them back bolts back up. It's pretty straight forward otherwise once you get the door panel off. I would recommend buying the regulator that comes with the motor as that makes the job a little easier but honestly it's not that much harder to swap the motor over to the new regulator. Took me about 25 minutes to swap my drivers side one out and I had never done a regulator before.
