weld a socket to your oem scissor jack,so u can use a ratchet or impact to get the car up faster instead of that twisting action.

don't know if it's actually much of a tip rather than common sense, but if you notice your doors don't make that new car door shut anymore, try taking your door panel off and tightening the screws that hold everything in on the inside of the door panel. I did this while fixing replacing my window motor yesterday and didn't know shutting a door could be so satisfying afterward.

peace.

Did your window rattle before? And no longer does? I just assumed this was something that happens on doors that don't surround the whole window. If your window rattled and no longer does.. im taking my door apart TODAY. haha. I guess it is common sense, but I never thought to do it.

A few inputs of my own:
-Always have proper lighting when working on a car
-KEEP YOUR SHIT ORGANIZED. Otherwise you lose bolts and end up going into your bolt box and putting in the wrong size stuff or just no bolt at all.
