shoot me, Max
OK, here is the right one. http://youtu.be/hWqjtAYFMTw
My 240 window failed, with hand crank windows. I'm wondering if it's the same thing. I have not been able to get into yet. Max

| The crystals you use are probably rehydrated to make the citrate from citrate. It occurred to me later, that the manufacturer probably intends the solution to be basic pH=8 probably to compensate for acidity that any residual antifreeze may have (excess OH ions are produced when water is added). In addition, if the head gasket is marginal, an acidic flush might cause a breach (which is probably inevitable, anyway) but could be attributed to the flush and subject the manufacturer to liability. Most commercially available citric acid is not produced from citrus, but I thought it might me interesting to know that the rind of citrus fruit can be used to remove toxic metal from the body (chelation agent). My apologies if the latter part was OT...just thought is was interesting, not procto-logical, admittedly. --- On Mon, 8/20/12, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote:

Nate..
Nah, it was me that put the hammer there. I was using it as a "wedge" to hold the motor up some, while I held the window, while my daughter "flipped the switch"
I'll try rolling driver's side window down halfway, and seeing if I can get the motor to line up..
Since the passenger side isn't moving-- what's my plan of attack, there??
