Default New power window regulator

Installed a new driver's side power window regulator from 1Aauto ($60). The installation video sure made it easy and especially so since it was the same year as my truck. Interesting side note - there were two butt connectors & a note stating that somewhere between 2004 - 2008 Ford decided to change the polarity on the switch. OF COURSE mine had to have the wires swapped - LOL! Don't know what happened to make my original one go toes up but here's what happened.

New towing mirrors come on Thursday so I'm not putting the door panel back on. I should be able to do the right side in about 10 minutes now that I know where everything is hidden. I currently have manual fold power, heated mirrors with the LED turn signal & the replacements just extend another 3", have convex lower mirrors along with chrome and paint to match caps. Prolly just use the chrome - easier.

Anyone need some good OEM mirrors cheap?

Detailed my truck yesterday and today. Washed, clayed, megs showcar glaze #7, two coats of Klasse sealant and a coat of Colinite 845.

Even though it looks good, the Klasse sealant is going in the trash to be replaced with Wolfgang deep gloss sealant. Klasse is so annoying to work with.

I had that same thing happen to my rear passenger window a few months ago. Now the plastic guide on my front passenger side regulator is broken which causes a terrible screeching sound when I roll it up. At this rate, I'll have all of them replaced by the end of the year
