Drivers door glass blew out, 16 stitches FIGURED IT OUT 700

You have my sympathy, and I figure I owe you one...My driver window binds when rolling down unless I manualy help the front of it. I guess I better get it before it gets me. That is the only door I haven't had to rebuild yet.

I saw a funny scene awhile ago, my buddy had locked the keys in his mini truck, and realy wanted to drive home. He spent 20 minutes TRYING to break the passenger window with a rock about #14 shoe size, then a passerby showed him how to unlock the door with a drinking straw.

As for upholstery...Arent there crime scene cleanup specialists who know all about that? Well, It has been my experience that bleeding on the car rituals are very powerful, so I hope she's running extra well.

I also did a junkyard window experiment:
Airbag placed in the seat
Large alternator placed on airbag
10 feet of speaker wire out the door(closd)
drill battery to both wires and
BOOM
Alternator goes out the windshield(leaves a small hole), 30+ feet up, 3 rows forward and lands atop another car(exploding the back window and 2 foot dent in roof),there is a smoking hole where the passengers rear would have been, and the stuffing is blown out the seat bottom.

It was way more than I expected, hazardous to passerby, and I will NEVER leave anything on the dash of an airbag equipped car. In fact, I am now rather intimidated by airbags.
