Alright so awhile back I went to a car show in pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Gran Prix) which I highly, highly recommend to everyone, lots of really old race cars, etc.
anyway - to make a long story short, my driver's side rear window fell off - ya hear that, it fell off. WTF, thankfully it was still hinged at the rear so it was still attached to the car and didn't break.
apparently, the glue or whatever holding the actual glass to a mounting bracket came undone. I was able to get a used window in perfect condition and tinted for $40 so I've spent the morning trying to get it on my car.
Here is the problem, I got my window off in 5 minutes, but to attach the new window I need to remove the driver's side seatbelt, which seems to be impossible. I almost started to strip the bolt and decided to stop there.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking I'll need to use an impact gun to get it off, so if anyone who has one that wants to lend me a hand it will be much appreciated and beer will rain from the sky.
My weekend started today so, lemme know what works for anyone. If not, I might just take it up to Curry's and have them have a go at it, but obviously, I'd rather not have to actually "pay" someone for a 5 minute job.
