[V8] Window problems

[urq]

... I hear you Kent ... and I tend more toward the wild abandon myself ... 
as probably most people here know, my motto is "I'm not going to break it 
any more by trying to fix it!"  In my case I have a basic knowledge of how 
things work and can usually get myself out of trouble without having to pay 
too much.  And, hey, I've screwed myself up pretty bad once or twice because 
I didn't fully know how things worked.  There are others who have been 
bitten once too many times and end up throwing in the towel ... and I think 
that's a shame.  The guy who was posting this already had to pony up $450 to 
get his oil filter issue remedied ... I'd hate to hear how much a shop would 
charge to fix the relatively simple door loom!

Even simple things can have repercussions ... your recommendation to simply 
disconnect the battery ... well, do you have the radio code?  You might well 
create yet another task inadvertently.  This is why I recommended that he 
try to find someone local who can help him with the ropes up front ...
