altezzaclub Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 If the inside (vertical) part of the channel was OK we would cut along the outside top edge of both the car channel and the new one, then weld right along that seam. Its not as good as replacing the top (horizontal) part as well, but it saved a lot of work taking the old channel off the pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaBenny Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've got brand new channels, so I'll have to change the whole thing... but u got any idea of how I'm going to stiff up the car as I'm going to take off the channels?

CorollaBenny Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Also I need to know if there are any windowshield washer pump in the back of the car, because it works on the front window, but not in the back, the tube (or line or what ever) is connected, but I can't fint out what's wrong...?

altezzaclub Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well, you can see from your own photos in post #14 that the hoist lifts the car in exactly the wrong places. Can you put a piece of timber along the car underneath to support the floor flat while you have the channel cut off? I haven't seen under those Corollas but I don't expect the floor to be flat so the timber would need some spacers. Certainly you will want it supported at the front pillar, the rear wheel arch and in the middle. Maybe three axle stands.. You don't have to lift the car right off its wheels if you don't mind working while lying on the floor so the suspension still takes some weight. Are your new channels just a top and an outside curve? I assume they are. So take a grinder and cut the old channel off on one side and see if the doors open & shut OK without it. That will tell you how much it sags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaBenny Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 There are complete channels, I'll try to send a picture of them between monday and wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaBenny Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm sorry that I haven't posted any pictures yet, but it will come, but not before three weeks because I'm not going to be working on my car before that. But any1 think that I can install a new front windowshield wiper arm? I've took off the old one at school, but you guys think that I can install it with little space in the parking lot?

altezzaclub Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 If you can take the old one off you can fit a new one easily enough. This is the arm from the pivot up to the windscreen wiper blade is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
