Car Window Problems
Problems with Windows?
No, problems with windows.
I'm back to driving the little red Beretta again, a car as old as many high school students. The air conditioner isn't functioning right: I'm getting a blast of hot air off of the engine mixed with the cool air. I need to use the windows for cooling.
The window on the passenger side is now broken and will no longer roll up. It hangs open a bit over two inches.
The knob on the handle on the driver side window has a plastic spur sticking out. This afternoon, after leaving the doctor's office, the spur gouged out a chunk at the base of my left index finger, opening up one of the veins that pass through there.
Torrents of blood poured out. I keep a towel in the door for cleaning my glasses and I sacrificed it to stop the flow. When I stopped the car and removed the towel, the flow started up again.
Once inside the house I washed the wound and applied a big bandage. That kept the flow in check until, several hours later, I removed the bandage. I had to put another in its place, which I'll keep on all night now.
