Wiring harness matter. My driver's door got killed in a storm. Body shop replaced the door. Everything seemed OK until winter. Trim level on my car was SEL. Used door came off an SE. Both had power mirrors. The difference came into play during an Illinois freezing rain on the tollway. SEL had defrosting mirrors. SE did not. Body shop had long since sent the old door to the scap heap. But he made good on the repair by ordering a new and correct harness. Problem solved.
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I needed to access the lock in the tail gate of my truck and knew how to do it from watching your videos. Screw the haters. I'm appreciative of what you do.
Always good to see a new video posting from you. Thought the Enclave looked good as new last time you worked on it. I've noticed the same defect on the liftgate on a Traverse the same color. I am trying to convince the wife it works better when the garage door is fully open. Hoping to see you finish the pickup that was beside the Enclave. thanks for sharing
People usually criticize that particular SUV because of high price and issues with a lot of mechanical and electrical part but for some reason I still do like the design of it. Look nice. Good video as always. 👍
they are nice highway cruisers. Ride very quite and smooth with comfortable seats front and back. Acadia/Traverse/Enclave are 100% identical mechanically.
I think they fixed most of the issues by 2015. The worst thing that happened to our 2011 model was fuel pump died twice and reverse solenoid on the transmission went out.
@@gjenkins1660 yeah, I've got a 2015 with 140k. Extended warranty replaced power steering pump and rebuilt the transmission at AAMCO. Only paid $150. No issues otherwise
Sister had a 2014 I was dedicated to keep on the road mechanically. Ran it up to 210k, and we sold it off last week still running and driving well. They are comfortable when they run and drive well. Power train servicing is tricky since everything is crammed in there. So expect to pay up when they break. I just did a radiator, 6 hour book time. Power steering hose is like 10 hours. Transmissions go out 100-150k. Coworkers father paid $5500 for a trans rebuild at a trans shop
Okay, so it's time-lapsed... but I'm still amazed at how well you know how these things come apart and go back together. You can do in an hour what might take me three (or more) in no small part because I'd be afraid of breaking every clip and plug. You may have done one or two of these before. Or - "somebody's been here before."
It's 5:00 AM here in Queensland Australia, where we don't have daylight saving, which I hate. The other Eastern Australian states go off daylight saving and back to normal time next Sunday. And I'm running late, because we just had two power outages, one through the night, the other one a few minutes ago.
Scott once again amazing work and dialog Stay Safe God Bless All Y'all PS if You haven't had enough Winter yet be glad to ship You some. Snowfall has reached 51 feet !!!!!
14:12 thank god you finally did that, my OCD was going into overdrive looking at that lol I don't normally have OCD either hahaha "umm scott...ah, SCOTT SCOTTTTTT the BUMPERRRR" lol
I haven't seen a brake job with your magic hammer lately. BTW, I gave one of those to my nephew for Christmas and he has so far christened everyone and everything.
I remember this vehicle from before. This is the one that Mr. Spotty fell asleep on the job and you put him on the pizza box and told the pizza girl to deal with him. Oh the memories. 😉
The full suspension job on these is very easy. Only a couple of hours to do all four corners in the driveway. Cheap too. Using KYB and AC Delco it was about $500 in parts.
Let me know if you ever pass through Murfreesboro Tennessee God bless you are very skilled some people go through life, not knowing what to do but you have been blessed to find your calling
The gloves were the crowning touch of this video. An old friend returns and now another job well done. I san see why your friends keep coming back. The job was done right.
Mr Spotty apparently did the cavity wax on the RUclips channel he left Scott to start. He shaved his head to increase his following! Scott, your vids are relaxing to watch, Thanks!
Now there's going to be a rash of stollen Enclave modules now ... thanks Scott. 🤣 Duke boys blew the struts... let hope the engine oil's been changed or that's toast too.
Just got screwed by the stealership today for changing a side detection module. Charged over $400.00 for the module, over $300.00 for labor. I went there because I don't have any way to program the new module. Wish I had seen this yesterday.
My kid brother crashed into the side of a tractor trailer at 5:30 in the morning in the dark, side of the trailer had no marker lights or reflective tape, kind of a bad set up for the grocery story loading dock blocked by bushes and a wall along the street so the kid came around a corner into basically a wall. It’s an 2008 Silverado 1500 LTZ with a lift and bumpers. Didn’t damage the frame, suspension, or any coolers or engine components. Just crushed in the hood- driver side fender, and the rad air or support bend and the whole top rail pulled the bolt inserts out. The cost for a hood, fender and undressed rad support in the correct color for a 15 year old truck threw a PRP yard- $1000 Like wow, I could have bought a whole truck for $3000
I went to Harbor Freight and asked if they had any 'Scotts Belt Molding Installation Tools' . Girl looked at me like I lost my mind. I guess they dont sell emporium quality tools. Anyway, the Enclave looks new...again!
Wow Scott....Mr. Spotty would be appalled! Lots of free parts at the local soccer field...That's Not Nice!....shut up Siri...I knew that damn phone was monitoring me. Yes, I'm using sarcasm here for those haters out there. Now get Scott a pizza!
Amazing how many parts are required for such a small hit. Ya I know, welcome to the world of plastic cars. Good work, nice job, hope it lasts much longer.
I wouldn't call it small. Sounds like a heavy vehicle ran into it. Most of the impact damaged parts were made of metal. Had they all been made of metal they still would have needed replacing or bodywork done on them, which would have cost just as much. Ironically a plastic fender may have retained it's shape and just needed painting.
The sea turtles love playing tug a war with tape backing! Since I live in the "Land of Rust and Corruption" as well. Where do you suggest to pick parts?
sorry scott. i bagged you a wile back for fitting a cowling before the windscreen. well i had 1 the other day. after 35 years of auto glass fitting it was a first and straight away i thought of you. so i'm sorry for doughting your work and still watch on saturday mornings in australia when you post your video's
13:54 Why do junkyards use those solvent based markers on the body panels? Don't they know it eats into the paint and even after you clean it off, you can still see the outlines of the numbers on the fender.
On a foggy / damp day, there is a strong chance that " Bio " is going to be visible even after it is cleaned off. Grease markers seem to fill roughness and change surface tension for water.
The only thing different i would have done is while the wing was off . i would have put the new strut on . less chance of scratching the newly painted wing . Good job either way .

Cool story.
Wow!!!! You should hang on to that guy with both hands… most would have just given you half a peace sign and sent you down the road
Nice job, Scott. It's a testament to how well you do things that customers keep coming back. As your shirt says, Drive, Crash, Fix, Repeat....
I bought that shirt
I love how meticulous you are, no matter what you're fixing!
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I needed to access the lock in the tail gate of my truck and knew how to do it from watching your videos. Screw the haters. I'm appreciative of what you do.
Nice to see someone who does quality work, so many hackers out there that love body fill... small amounts to refine something is fine
Love these longer content scott, you’re attention to detail still amazes me and I’ve been following your channel for ages, great post scott
*Your, not you’re.
Awesome repair Scott, your customers are lucky to have a guy like you and a spotty.
Another one saved. Cheers Scott, nice one.
Keeping skin on your fingers is something any mechanic can identify with.Being safe is something you demonstrate very well. Live long and prosper!
You should do a video on how to remove all the different fasteners. It would be a game changer for us commoners.
You just need the brake job hammer and they come right out
Hi from Ontario Canada, hope you have a great day.
how nice is to see that someone who love cars done the proper job on yours..BRAVO SCOTT with a bunch of appropriate tools 😆👍😉
The week wouldn't be over, without a vehcor video!
The wiring harness tip was great, thanks Scott!

26:00 like the Doppler effects as the train passes by in background.
Scott! I am surprised you didnt spray cavity wax into the door considering it was already apart! Anyway always appreciate your videos!
im not surprised
the amount of 2 unskippable ads i had to sit through was torture, but this video was so worth it🤙🏻

@@joeyf504327 Nice, I would hold on to it with how prices are now. We sold ours to carvana last summer they gave us 5k for it, kinda miss it still

You do great work. I would not hesitate to buy a rebuilt car from you. Great attention to detail and to do the job right.

the best part is all of the free parts you got with the used door can go straight into the Scott's Enclave Emporium parts inventory!
I enjoy your body repair videos you do.
Lots of GM cars and trucks have changed over the years for removal of panels .
Nice job , you’re a professional, I want to be like you when I grow up
thank you for all these videos it encourage me to work on my own truck
Scott once again amazing work and dialog Stay Safe God Bless All Y'all PS if You haven't had enough Winter yet be glad to ship You some. Snowfall has reached 51 feet !!!!!

It’s Friday! Great job Scott! Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in the next installment.
Hello Scott welcome back !
Thanks for the video Scott.
I haven't seen a brake job with your magic hammer lately.
BTW, I gave one of those to my nephew for Christmas and he has so far christened everyone and everything.
Excellent work as always Scott.
The clean freaks will be going crazy, re fitting the door mirror over all that polishing dust 😁😁😁😁
I'm here to see the belt molding installation tool at work. Never knew it had so many uses.
I remember this vehicle from before. This is the one that Mr. Spotty fell asleep on the job and you put him on the pizza box and told the pizza girl to deal with him. Oh the memories. 😉
as a former GM tech I believe all GM Lambda platform cars are cursed.
Repeat customers! They know where to go. 😁 I could watch Vehcor rebuilds all day!!!
I never thought of that thing with the part number on the wiring harness, good tip.
You do things correct- that's awesome
The full suspension job on these is very easy. Only a couple of hours to do all four corners in the driveway. Cheap too. Using KYB and AC Delco it was about $500 in parts.
Great job car looks awesome enjoy watching your videos keep up the great work
Let me know if you ever pass through Murfreesboro Tennessee
God bless you are very skilled some people go through life, not knowing what to do but you have been blessed to find your calling
This Enclave dutifully followed the commands on the Vehcor t-shirt: Drive. Crash. Fix. Repeat.
Not too dutifully, since the car was parked. ;)
Awesome show Thanks
The gloves were the crowning touch of this video. An old friend returns and now another job well done. I san see why your friends keep coming back. The job was done right.
I was impressed with the color match.
Thank you for all of us clean freaks for the pressure wash.
Looks good! Also, looks like the Arkansas truck is almost done! Can't wait to see it.
Finally a new video! After two weeks with no videos, I was starting to experience withdrawal
I was so so glad to watch my daughters Buick Enclave go bye bye to another sucker to deal with the POC.
Turned out good the paint match looks good
The two sided tap backet is not only a fun playting for the sea turtles, it's also a tasty snack!
Mr Spotty apparently did the cavity wax on the RUclips channel he left Scott to start. He shaved his head to increase his following!
Scott, your vids are relaxing to watch, Thanks!
Nice job! I was expecting cavity wax in both of those doors, what gives?
Feeling so inspired and positive after this video, thanks!
WOO HOO! Another crash , fix , repeat! LOL Hello Scott!
I’m exited to see your shops not any cleaner than mine an I have that. Same mower in one of the vids. Go cub cadet!!
Nice job Scott!

The right facial expression is essential when doing a job like this, lol! Fortunately there's no camera on me when I am working.

I see Mr. Spotty hiding in the corner of that jam . Peek aboo .
I went to Harbor Freight and asked if they had any 'Scotts Belt Molding Installation Tools' . Girl looked at me like I lost my mind. I guess they dont sell emporium quality tools. Anyway, the Enclave looks new...again!
Your great at what you do and xtra funny this video thanks for sharing Scott!!!!
If you open up the module and clean them with alcohol. they will usually work again. Close them up and seal the module after they tested good.
Awesome work as always 👍🏼
Hey you are almost at 200 thousand Subscribers good job.
The door adjustment tool is missing from your Amazon store 😊😊😊
Nice Job as always.
Wow Scott....Mr. Spotty would be appalled! Lots of free parts at the local soccer field...That's Not Nice!....shut up Siri...I knew that damn phone was monitoring me.
Yes, I'm using sarcasm here for those haters out there. Now get Scott a pizza!
Gotta love repeat customers!! Just like the shirt says.
This Car loves being in Vehcor Videos so it keeps coming back!........Crash! Fix! Repeat!
"I got my next job coming up as a hand model" 🤣😂
Great video, as usual.

I choked up a bit when you said about dirty part installation. ..ah yeah...oh do you charge extra for genuine dust?
The sea turtles love playing tug a war with tape backing! Since I live in the "Land of Rust and Corruption" as well. Where do you suggest to pick parts?
Great Job!!! Thank You… :-)
Which brand of strut kit have you had the best results from, for the Enclave? Monroe, KYB, Gabriel, etc.
I put some kyb compete strut assemblies on a 14 with success. Lasted a couple years and the vehicle was sold then. Rears are shock assemblies.
It's red and it's cursed. It's like drivers even pros can't see red even grey stands out. Red is perfect for camouflage.
About freaking time the channel went back to the GM Lambda platform roots. They always come back, don’t they?
sorry scott. i bagged you a wile back for fitting a cowling before the windscreen. well i had 1 the other day. after 35 years of auto glass fitting it was a first and straight away i thought of you. so i'm sorry for doughting your work and still watch on saturday mornings in australia when you post your video's
Scott.... What brand of struts do you use or like. I'm about to order a set for my gm truck
13:54 Why do junkyards use those solvent based markers on the body panels? Don't they know it eats into the paint and even after you clean it off, you can still see the outlines of the numbers on the fender.
do you have the cowl screen spacer in you store or is it oem only
nice work as usual
I like. These Buicks. SUV Surprised. How. Large. The. Tires. Are. Love. Your. Chanel. Been. Trying. To. Subscribe. It. Would. Never. Except. Me. Until. Today. Thanks
On a foggy / damp day, there is a strong chance that " Bio " is going to be visible even after it is cleaned off. Grease markers seem to fill roughness and change surface tension for water.
he changed the glass
after its scraped that goes away after a few months in the sun and rain.
Another great video. How much difference between this Buick and the GMC Acadia, other than the skin
The only thing different i would have done is while the wing was off . i would have put the new strut on . less chance of scratching the newly painted wing . Good job either way .
When you adjust a bent door top, is it better to do it with the window up or the window down?
Wait for the parts to arrive? Scott's GM emporium has a delivery service?
great Job!!
Back in my day when we got a part to match the color of the car , it was call midnight auto sale
Primitive hand tools haha I must be getting old I remember from a wrench to a ratchet
As an old paratrooper…. I envy your knees
I keep recommending your work to everyone I know who wrecks a car… 🤷♂️
