I replaced the window regulator on the 5mt. The front sure was harder than the rear. I would have replaced the front clip only, but wanted to have that be a separate project and wanted to button the X back up as quickly as possible.

Then replaced my Home Depot Exide battery. Those are the only batteries to buy since they have a no questions asked 40 month, non prorated replacement policy. No load test, no battery test. Nothing. Just take it. This battery was only two years old but had been sitting on the shelf for months before I bought. I was newer then and did not know to look for that production date back then.
