    Bummer luck! Done that too. Tightened bolts too much, and then the glass shattered. Driver window. Oops.

    At least you got the stationary window replaced.

    Hate it when that happens. Thankfully, that's never happened to me. Those bolts should be snug, but not tight. There should also be washers and plastic spacers as well. There should be no metal in contact with the glass. Though it sounds like WagonMan is getting you the hookup on a good assembly you can just drop in.

    He's mine - training him early.

    Well all was well.... I just busted the DOOR glass. Guess I tightened the glass to glass bracket bolts too much. I knew they were supposed to be loose. Didn't think I had them tight.

    WagonMan save me...

    Your kid (or someone's kid) does not look impressed.

    Finally put the rear door stationary window in, and the window trim around it that was missing.

    Now time to build a lean to behind my garage to keep it in. The rubber on this car is good - dew wipers, weatherstripps, etc. Want it to stay that way.

    distance is an issue... though I would probably want to let Ivan beef up the tailgate hinges no matter what I got.

    I wish I had a good home for it. Unfortunately I would most likely end up driving it into the ground like every car I've ever owned, including my current '91 MGM.

    I'm forever interested... but I'm looking for a steelside (non woody) long roof with the rear seats, with an HO/sploder swap w/MAF... preferred with 3.55L rear, but I can just swap over from one of my current cars when needed.

    TV cable was not attached to transmission. Guess that's what the PO meant when he said he disconnected the shift lever to move it. Hmmm. Well anyway, trans shifts great now! Quick and positive. All four gears with good up/downshifts.

    Blower motor is getting 12v so must be seized.

    All windows work except passenger. First time I was brave enough to try.

    Wagonman has a window and gasket he'll be sending my way as soon as I send him a money order.

    I still don't have time for this thing, so I'll gladly sell it to a nice home. If any of you are interested at any time, please let me know.

    Nice to see you again Ben I'm glad you got the wagon running

    The uber late shifting sounds like the TV cable is either stuck at wide open (cable seized) or the lever on the trans is seized and stuck at wide open... or the plunger in the trans is stuck (broken return spring?).

    Good to hear it is running. I love SEFI engines since attempting to get them started after sitting a while usually won't be troublesome if everything else is in good order. Your wagon sat for as long as the little Infiniti I've been working on with a friend, all laid up because of a dead fuel pump, lol.

    Hopefully getting everything else sorted out won't be too difficult.
