Hi Everyone, Today we tackle the window regulators on the Ferrari 308. Oh my… The windows are soooo slowwww… There is a good reason for that! The grease used back in the day turns to glue over time and nothing can move. Today’s project is to remove the regulators, disassemble and clean them thoroughly. Then re-lube and re-install. The job took a few evenings, but is well worth it!

DARRELL SIMPSON says:

What an improvement. Great presentation. Almost looked easy.

Fran Woon says:

Brilliant video! Have been meaning to do my 308 GT4 for ages – your video has given me the courage to!!

Number one – it's great to see females as auto techs – I think the industry needs many, MANY more! For 39 years, I was an aircraft engineer in the aircraft overhaul business. On one of the engines we rebuilt, when we split open the main gearbox, there was always one bearing whose outer race would move while in service. We talked to the factory engineers about it and they were convinced it was the bearings "looking for their proper place". So, when you talked about the bearing blocks supporting the worm gear drive "finding their place" you're absolutely correct. Great job!

Nathan Benich says:

Hey, Franny. I liked your white and yellow graph lines to help see how the orientation of the cables go. Cheers!:)

Kevin Rummelhart says:

Love your videos!… Every time I get an urge to buy a classic sports car all I have to do is watch one of your videos to walk me down off the ledge…

Douglas McCowen says:

One of the best videos on this job that I have ever seen. I need to do this on my 308 GT4, so thanks a bunch.

matlecomte says:

Hi Franny, great video again! Have you thought of using a tire paint marker instead of the nail polish, they come in bright colors like orange, blue or red and make it easy to mark torqued nuts and bolts!

When I had my 308, I found the same. I also found that the windows were WAY WAY faster if i supplied battery voltage direct to the motor leads. This was true even if the car was running, which should give slightly higher voltage, but a standalone battery was still faster. This was a long time ago, but I seem to recall measuring the voltage at the motor, and it was low, like 9 volts. Never got it sorted before I sold the car. Always wondered where the voltage loss was, and if there was a way to fix it – maybe a relay?

Kenny Ray says:

You are my hero! This channel should be on TV… Seriously. It's so well made. I love it!

I don't have a Ferrari, but I love the logic & thoroughness of your explanations. I know this doesn't relate to the car, but where did you the restrictor in the parts cleaner, did that come from JEG or somewhere else? Also I love the light you have on your bench, can you tell me the brand? It looks very bright , something my eyes could use. Your videos are really excellent, and i learn something, or just catch something in the periphery. I know I am far afield here, but I'm mentioning this for your safety, and not losing the car. I had a friend that bought a 1986 328GTS with a blown engine in 1992 for $15,000. I hung around while he did a lot of the work and learned a number of things..Long story ,short he rebuilt it. It ran great. He talked to a lot of Ferrari owners and they they told him to always keep a 2.5 lb. Halotron fire extinguisher in the car. (This kind leaves no residue and does not affect the Ozone layer) because of the kind of fuel leakage problem, especially in a car that had been stored like this one was. they are prone to all kinds of leakages. He was on the freeway one day and he saw smoke from the inside of the right rear body, as he slowed down it became flames. He popped the hood and the air hit it and it erupted into full flames. He got the extinguisher and blasted it in to the corner, and he said after 10-15 seconds it went out. There was a lot of cooked wiring, but the car was saved. Apparently there was some small fitting under the right rear body panel that leaked. The extinguisher was a the saving factor. The CHP officer that stopped said he sees cars go up in flames, in 30 seconds or so. I lost a car to a fire, and it is a helpless feeling to just stand there and watch it burn. Just stay safe. Again, thanks for everything.

I wish I had one-tenth of your patience and perserverance. Amazing work.

nenorv11 says:

Heidi, you also wrench? That is super.

Werner Danler says:

I had just as much fun watching this a second time as I did the first.

SimonatMac says:

Another great instructional video. Thanks, girls. ❤️

John Nichols says:

Don't like cable style regulators they stretch over time. But great work, window regulators aren't fun for me, being 6'3" my long arms tend to get in the way. Oh yea just remembered BMW provided a product called sylglide, a product that reminds me of Vaseline, basically Vaseline with silicone in it, we all know silicone attracts moisture, not the best idea for alot of applications. Like you I used the red bearing grease, moly seems to attract grime way too easily.
