47-55.1 vent window re-build or buy remanufactured? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It comes down to available time to spend vs avaiable funds to spend. The little pieces to repair one aren't all that expensive but the process is time consuming and requires a lot of patience. Some of us have as many hours a week as we want to spend working on our trucks or other automotive projects and some due to demanding schedules might have three or four honest hours a week that we can dedicate undivided attenton to our trucks. One thing I have always said is if you work on your car or truck as a hobby make sure that your significant other has their own hobbies be it sewing, crafting, gardening or ? The happiest couples are ones who feel that their partner's hobby time is also their own project time to do their own thing.

The other thing is DO NOT BROWBEAT anyone because they buy a part or pay someone to do a task or tasks on their project because they are not comfortable or don't have the time, skill or tools and equipment to accomplish the task. That doesn't fly with me.
