I went to wash it, and was a little too eager to close the slider conversion Van window.

It shattered. And I did not notice until I went to re open it.


Balls.

The only saving grace was that years ago, for heat blockage, I taped the interior of the window with FlexFix aluminum tape so while completely shattered, it is still mostly together.

With a little help of a Shopvac to get some shards by the edges, and more flexfix on the exterior glass, I still have a sliding window, just no lock, and not really wind or watertight, as if it ever was. I'm probably gonna just gonna paint the tape black while I think up a tolerable solution. I'd rather not replace the whole window.
I'm thinking of getting some smoked plexiglass and perhaps cutting out a portion of track to be able to insert it.

If it is just the small sliding glass portion you can replace it, if you have a photo and some dimensions of the window and or a similar window I may have an extra or two extra slides. I replaced an entire window (hard to find since company got bought), but I have a sliding glass piece from another window and can always get glass pieces for really cheap. Just letting you know incase, I too get a little too quick of the draw with closing them windows, I never broke a window that way. Only two windows and two ways, one is playing golf and the other I slammed the passenger door to hard and the glass just shattered.

Not a damn thing, drove to the library to finish do some work and had to lend my mother my van which every time she brings it back there is something new a scratch or something, nothing I can do about it because I don't want to kill the bitch in a fight. But anyway, for now I'm just counting down the days until I go back to Florida. I have a bus load of work to do.
Replace Filler Tube
Replace Torque Converter
Replace Door Lock Mech
Re-glue rear view mirror
Replace rear suspension (leaf springs, bushings, bolt, plates, etc...)

Rebuild Entire A/C system, involves flushing and replacing of expansion valves, filter drier, o-rings, seals, fasteners, rebuilding of compressor, salvaging of piping (all rusted so I have to remove rust in and out and paint after clean), so on so forth)

I also have to take the seats out and clean all the dog hair and throw up spot or spots up off the carpet, clean everything. Clean and wax outside of van.

I may be purchasing a weight distribution, I am pissed because I wanted to buy a new tool but I don't want to wear my suspension premature with towing that heavy trailer I talk about. Always something and never enough time or money... Life...

All this the above is just for my van...

Then I have another vehicle, my mothers car I have to fix.
Needs new wheel studs and wheel nuts Hyundai Elantra so pain with the hubs.
Needs who knows what else.

Then a customers dodge van.
Needs transmission overhaul so I'm going to be busy with that.


Busy busy busy I tell ya.

Got my CB radio hooked up in the van. Should make caraVANning a little better.


When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?
