Wife lessons

yesterday, me and my wife worked on her 67 since the weather was nice and i attempted to install a window reg. and vent window assembly. so i tore into it and got it apart and going to put it back together and got the reg. in and couldn't get the vent window in so i took it out and mess with it different ways etc. got mad and so on, so she says WHY DON'T YOU GO READ HOW TO DO IT? i say i have read how to do it, so after a while, i come in and i read come the find out all i had it right the first time i just didn't think to push the glass over to allow the vent window bottom enough room to slide in so in the end sometimes it pays to LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE!

Re: Wife lessons

Did you tell her, "it's your truck, YOU go read how to do it!"


Yeah, I wouldn't have either.

Re: Wife lessons

Ugh, I feel your pain... I actually had the guts all out of my 3rd door on the burb yesterday, though I had my manual out on the floor and had all kinds of lighting going on so I could see.

I hate working on door inner workings! My arms are all cut up from reaching inside the door to reach stuff...

Re: Wife lessons

Glad you got the job done okay, but..... right or wrong, it always pays to listen to your wife!! Or said another way.... not listening to your wife will cost you!

No, my wife did not make me write that....
