Why are airplane windows curved?
Why are airplane windows curved? A: This Q is about windows that are NOT flat. Usually curved windows are designed to fit the shape of the airplane so as make the airplane more aerodynamic and not be boxy. Why are airplane windows rounded on the corners? A: One of the first British jets began to crash for no reason. This airplane, the Comet, had large square windows. The investigation discovered that the airplane cracked open at the corners of the windows. This was about the time that engineers began to understand the phenomna of Fatigue. Their tests showed that the corners of the windows resulted in higher stresses and it fatigued the metal. They redeisgned the windows to be rounded and it reduced the stresses and no more planes crashed. Sharp corners in holes of any surface that is carrying a load will increase the stresses. If the corner is changed to a curved edge, then the stresses are lowered. Think of stress as a flow of forces and when it comes to a sharp corner, the flow can't go around the corner.

How do you change change the window switch in a 2003 Venture?
Slip something thin (putty knife) between the switch plate and the door panel. Slowly twist and pry up while tugging up on the switch assembly and it will pop out. Don't use a screwdriver and just twist, you could crack the switch plate. There's enough wire to pull out the switch a few inches. Disconnect the connectors (small screwdriver to depress the catch) and the switch is out. No screws and no need to remove the door panel, it's just popped in!
Passenger side electric window wont go up but the motor works on an f150supercrew?
I'm working on the same problem on my 94 F150..went to U tube and found how to remove door panel and "window regulator". While replacing the window regulator would probably solve my problem I think there is a simpler answer since my motor works and I can get the window to jog up a little if I work at it then I can grab it and assist it up by pulling up and using up switch. I'm going to pull the panel and see what is going on. Check out U-Tube

Are child proof locks in cars the same as power window locks?
No, the childproof lock disables the inside door handle so the rear seat passengers can't open their door. Someone else must open the door to let them out using the outside handle. The control for the childproof lock is usually on the edge of door and is only accessible when the door is open. The power window lock just prevents the passengers opening the windows. They both should be used together to be the most effective

How do you remove a 2001 H1 Hummer electric window motor?
Take the door panel apart remove the torks bolts at the bottom holding the window motor in. Take a drill and drill out the three rivet holes to remove the motor. You will then need to buy replacement bolts to reinstall unless they come with the motor. I had to do this yesterday and rebuilt the motor. (That will test the patients.) I cant seem to find where they sell them in my area.
How much does it cost to replace a broken window on a car?
Replacing a car window usually cost around $300 give or take based upon where you live, what options your car glass needs and what type of car you drive. Additionally, you can save money if you can repair your car glass instead of completely replacing it. However, if the window is completely shattered this will not be an option. Repairs usually cost less than one hundred dollars.
