Riveting

Our car has had a problem with the driver side back window motor not working. My wife forgot about this a few days ago and decided to roll it down to clear off some snow. Unfortunately it would not roll back up afterwards, so she had to drive home with the window down on a dark cold snowy night. I knew it would be a pain to change out the motor myself, but it would cost a lot to have someone else fix it, so I finally broke down and did it. The hardest part was removing and replacing the rivets. I have no idea why they used rivets instead of screws, it's not like it was holding up a steel building. My wife had to help with it a few times because it requires more than 2 hands to do some of the work. Plus she usually figures out little problems that I miss, I would have thought the new motor didn't work if she didn't suggest me plugging the door switch back in, because evidently the front button controls the window remotely through the door. Anyway, it cost a little chunk of change, but a lot cheaper than paying someone to fix it. And I have a cool rivet gun now. You know, for all that riveting I do.
