So the window issue was no big deal. I did get the better switches. What happened was the backing on the connector to the drivers side switch came loose and the power wire came loose from there.
Now here is why I have become so disenchanted with this hobby. I see that the rear seal is leaking on the Hydroboost. It is a PITA, but I get the thing out and apart. Honestly that particular seal is on a rod that is a major pain to get apart and I don't want to just order up some generic seal kit hoping that it has the correct seal. So I call around to get a replacement Hydroboost. As you all know, everything now is A1 Cardone. I hate this brand with a passion. This company is the single reason I sold my '90 CRX. It was such a great car until Honda stopped making parts for it. All the A1 Cardone parts kept breaking in 1 year or less and that was my only option unless I wanted to spend more than what the car was worth on NOS parts. So back to my story. Napa is the cheapest. I call them and they tell me that they cannot get them anymore. I call O'Reilly. Same story. I call Autozone. Special order, but they can have it in 2 days. They tell me that they can price match Napa. I go it and I get the Manager. This guy fumbles around for 5 minutes trying to find the part before I have to help him. He would not let me just give him the damn part number. I ask him to price match and he tells me I need to prove it. Fine, here is the price printed out. Same part number even. Then he goes on about how I didn't print Napa's warranty policy and he can't price match unless I prove that. The phone won't bring it up on the mobile site. Even trying to request the desktop site won't work. Damnit! He refuses to use their computers to find it. I walk out all pissed off, go home, print it, come back. The manager had left, so I deal with another guy. Turns out this was a waste of time because they can't price match special order parts anyway!!!!!!!! If this next one goes out my only option is to go Hydratech,
I'll get the part hopefully in a couple days and get the car back together. Then hopefully I can find time to use my book I got from Kirbans to eliminate some of the wind noise. Then I need to replace the speedo cable. I may do a custom dash though.
But this is what sucks. The hobby has been ruined for those of us who wrench on our own cars and have a limited budget. Most of us can't go out and do a full DSE or Ridetech suspension, Baer brakes, crate motor, top of the line radiator, all custom accessories, and have a brand new turn key hot rod, but these days that seems to be the only way to have something reliable.
Hopefully this aggression will pass, but honestly this is not my first rodeo dealing with this. Everything started going to shit in the parts market about 7 or 8 years ago IMO.
