When I go to buy a car the only question is, how broken is it? I need projects, not more cars. This cheap 2009 Nissan Cube popped up for sale with a bad transmission. I jumped right on that and had it delivered to the warehouse sight unseen. It seemed like it just needed cleaned up and a transmission installed, but it turns out I have all the common issues. Broken read door latch, broken rearview mirror mount, failed driver window regulator, and of course a bad CVT transmission. The transmission is next but the glovebox and driver window parts are in town so we're going to get those installed today!

That one raid promo paid for the cube?
If its for sale how much. I mean the cube. Unless he plans on keeping it
@@toyota420xp Raid Shadow Legends? It's free! /s
I first read that as a drive storage redundancy protocol.
@@InsideOfMyOwnMind That would be RAID SCSI legends.
I purchased a clean title black on black with a stick in FL for $3,500. Guy couldn't sell it because nobody wanted a manual transmission. Lol Drove the car 2 years (not one issue) and sold it for $5,200.
In my area of N.J it woulda sold quick 🤣 I sold my 2006 Acura TSX 6 speed manual with 327k miles on it 12 hours after listing it for sale .. probably helped that it needed absolutely nothing but in my area there's lots of manuals
Manual transmission is the real deal,CVT is trash.
Get a cheap vacuum suction cup for holding up windows, you can place it anywhere on the glass to hold it in position.
O'Reilly's needs have you do a cameo in their TV commercials as you wear your own shirt
O-O-O O'Reilly's... Here's J.R.
He needs to say how LONG it takes him to do things. Was this a 1 hour job, longer, shorter? It seems like almost no one ever tells how long it takes/took when they do a how to video.
Never thought i would ever be so interested in watching a man working on such a vehicle as a Nissan Cube, But so far its been fascinating, Looking forward to the final out come, Cheers.
It's because he always has a positive attitude about everything and that makes his videos fun to watch.
"If you don't have your owns hands, storebought is fine"
JR, you really need to invest in a set of long bits for your impact driver. It'll make your life a whole lot easier.
I've thought this so many times LoL the struggle is real when he twists those shorty's right off the head cuz the attempt angle is off juuuust enough lol
As a former Nissan Tech. Thanks for all the giggles that was painful. Suction cups work great. I have replaced hundreds of CVTs. But barely if any cube CVTs. Good work.
Shoulda changed the AC cabin filter while you had the glovebox out.
"If you can grow that third arm...."
You do know there is a tool available that is essentially two suction cups with a length of cable or cord connecting them? One cup applied to one side of the glass, cord over the top of the window frame, and apply the other cup to the other side of the glass. Et voila, third arm!
If you're a tin foil hat kinda guy just get vaccinated and BOOM! There's your third arm. So what if it grows out of your forehead.
Get a rubber wedge door stop wedge it between window and door edge there's your third hand.
Doesn't surprise me that there's a tool already out there for it, but I was thinking the same thing from scratch...two Harbor Freight (or wherever) suction cups, and a bungee or rope between them. Or heck, just one, stuck on right above the window sill really should do it.
We know JR has a lot of experience one-handing stuff because he's usually holding a camera.
To help hold the window up, you can use those wood triangle door stops. They will hold a window up, no problem. There is a guy in our shop who only does window regs, all day, and he swears by the door stop to hold the glass up
Door speaker upgrade... You're right there!
Did you source a CVT yet? Rebuild kits for those aren't much, and would make for a decent video.
Now we know how JR is getting rich...Raid Shadow Legends!
Raid are supporting a lot of content creators. They are worth a thumbs up just for that.
Luckily it was pretty deadpan which is simultaneously the worst and best way to do a RAID ad spot.
@@kruleworld Raid is also the worst piece of garbage you could possibly promote. To me it's a reason not to watch the video, and I think I've pretty much seen every JR video of the past months.
If you’ve ever watched Scotty Kilmer, he’d tell you to spray some silicone spray in the window tracks to make things easy for the window motor raising and lowering the window.
That's what I was thinking... Use silicone spray
Shinetsu is silicone grease. Lasts longer, less mess since you're wiping it on instead of spraying, and conditions the rubber.... one application will last years. Only thing better IMHO is GM convertible top grease (gm #3634770) which is basically a low viscosity version of Dupont Krytox grease that you brush on.
Love the ordinary car fixes. You know, mst people doesn’t have the possibility’s to buy a big fancy McLaren or some. This is the power of you’re channel...
I stopped watching Tavarish for that reason. I'm sure exotics are great to own and drive, but seeing content with them just bores me. I enjoy the content a lot more when I can relate to it.
I liked all the dust on the back of the regulator box. Guess it was on the shelf a long time!
Nice hair cut. You should take 100%Cake with you next time...
"Hoovie Cut" BUT Round Not Square
100%Cake LOL
Used to really dislike seeing RSL ads. But now I know it's a sign that it's helping out the creator. Always happy to see them thriving!
Straight to the point without over complicating things. Thanks!
Really nice to see someone replacing the weather membrane reasonably correctly!
Really appreciate the video. Exactly what I needed!
Just thinking of a year ago working in your garage. How nice to have lights, heat, room, space, and a 10mm socket. Congrats on your progress, keep it up.
JR, time saving skills learned. Much thanks buddy.
That Cube is looking very decent now and appreciating in value 👍
Yay more cube content!
OK so ive missed a few episodes. When he opened the glove box, I DIED!!!!!!! That was way funnier than it shoulve been.
Nissan has typically always made one wiring harness for all of their vehicles. Blue tape is the key to other options.
Diggin' the new do!
Nice video. I have a 2011 Cube same color as yours. I bought it for my daughter to drive around town although we have no problem taking it on the highway. We love driving it. I had to put a transmission in it after we first got it but, we have had no problems since then. There is 150,000 miles on it and still runs great.
JR I like that model T in the background. Way cool
Cool to see how easy it is on those.
One thing to mention is that plastic and adhesive is important to make sure it is sealed across the bottom and up the sides. On some cars, like mine, it actually catches rainwater and directs it back into the door. My plastic was ripped, and it took a while to figure out how water was getting into the car. Plastic replaced, issue resolved. Hope this helps others.
Great refurbish clip thank you, that auctrator box looked like it had 10 years of dust on it. I use a 1.5 bit extender on my impact driver.
Great tutorial video dude. How about a warehouse update?
I don’t know why, but dropping open the glove box just made me laugh uncontrollably. Good stuff. 🤣
Great Video Thanks For Uploading
So satisfying!
Haircut looks 🔥brother
Another great video!
We need to see that Camero 😎
Needs to happen
I have a 2012 Nissan cube. I’ve had problems with my muffler and pipe. It was loud. Had it fixed and I’m good to go. Now the airbag light is blinking. It doesn’t bother me so blink on. Other than that, my Nissan runs great. I had it now for 5 years. I love it, it’s paid for and I don’t want another car payment. Thanks for the tutorial.
Props to Diamond. Love them, use them all the time since they're local.
Love the videos. What camera are you using?
Let's raffle the Cube off with free shipping. I'll be first to buy a ticket. It's a great car for a retired person to drive locally.
He needs to flip it to pay for his new toy!
It took FOUR months and two rounds of selling to get rid of the one dollar X5, even with $2,000 of parts replaced on it. Let's not go through that again.
I love thoses Cube videos! I' m sad i didn't bought one back then, this is a cool car, gonna check out hyundai venue base manual, could be fun!
Get some long bits for the impact, and I use a wood shim between window and inside door metal to hold the window in place.
O Reilly's should have you in their commercials! Love the Cube!
Dang John you look so tired. We appreciate what you do for us but please get yourself rest and stay safe
The day after I saw the first video about the cube I saw one the same color driving down the street I was amazed
My work wife drives a Cube, hasn't failed her once. I mean she knows I love Nissans so I always do the maintenance on her cube
are you trying to get in her box, sorry i mean cube?
My question is how many wives does he have.
My wife 🇵🇷 loves Nissans also, ( 1 Murano 2 Pathfinders she has owned )🇵🇷
*Scotty has left the chat*
@@andrewjmit hes like 16 soo...
Watching this in Scotland 🏴 and need to replace the window regulator on my wife’s cube. Hopefully it goes as easy as it looks on this video 👍
Did it last night - 40 minutes start to finish after getting the know how from this video 👍
You see those holes near the top of the inner door ?. You pop a screwdriver through there and it holds the window. Magic...
i use a piece of a cerial box over the top of the window and jam it up in the track it holds the glass up no problem and doesent leave any tape resadue behind
Woop/woop another fun video
You could use a window plunger the type they use to pick up the windshield to hold it in place
JR, I'm really surprised you've forgotten your 3rd arm. Unless you got rid of it, I remember seeing them in your garage a few years back; Harbor Freight Qwik Clamps. All you need is a few thick pieces of foam padding on either side of the wind and on top of the window frame, then clamp it. If you're like myself; my Impreza doesn't have a frame around the windows; I just use 2 at the window seals. Simple & effective. BTW, the window installer should mount your mirror for free; the 3 in my town plus all the wrecking yards reinstall the mirror for free as long as it's good.
How about a beefy suction cup/grip to attach to the bottom of the window to prevent it from dropping to free up both hands?
Oooft on time, been a minute.
I use 2 or 3 pieces of 3/8 hose bent in half to hold the glass up. I place then between the glass and the top of the door.
*opens glovebox* isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? Had me laughing my butt off
U can get a drill extension that bends and is like a foot long. it is handy for tighter spots. I think i got mine at lowes. Mighta been home depot
On time for once 😎😎
I did a window regulator recently. Got lazy, didn't test it before putting it back together. It was wired backwards.
The only dude that says "I hit the jackpot" after buying a car with all the problems, and actually means it was a good thing. XD
With COVID pricing, any car is a potential gold mine.
I replaced the window regulator last year in my Crown Vic. It certainly didn't go a smooth as this. But then again, I'm not a professional. The window and motor are both riveted on a Crown Vic, so you have to drill them out. Then the cable was wrapped around everything I couldn't see.
Great haircut. Regarding your sponsorship, just curious, how many people are into joining a 309k member clan? Just kidding. Great video on Nissan Cube!
You need to lube the tracks inside the door too that the glass rides in, not just the seals around the frame.
Looks like you are Gleaming The Cube.
Fits like a GLOVE!!! (box)
Good job on the window reg. Side note just spray some WD 40 in the track both front and back till it drips out the bottom. That normally makes the guides nice and slick.
Harbor freight has awesome suction cups big and small handle lock type that hold windows up while working on them, or even temporarily hold it while driving if you can't fix it right away.
Take a gander and understand it. Good old ganderstanding.
Blue Collar Glass & Collision ftw!
Try using a soft rubber wedge to hold the window.
JR - put a couple of suction cup hooks on the window and then a bungee cord connecting the 2 hooks together over the top of the door, and your window will stay up with no hands or tape.
Nice video.
You know you go there a lot when you are on a first name basis with the guys at the parts store!
The collapsing glove box. Optional feature.
JR, instead of tape to hold the window up why not just use a suction cup? You can hold the window at any position you need and change it fast if needed.
Stop obsessing about how fast things can be done... We don't care. Just like to see the projects.
JR, did you get your haircut at O’Reilly’s?
Nice video one little thing I would of replaced the 12v socket for usb while glove box was out
I always use blue painters tape. I always finish by spraying silicone spray in the window rubbers .
I remember when they came out. Nissan marketed them to college students calling it a dorm room on wheels.
I did my cobalt back windows I just got them from the junkyard both work
Just now needed to watch this video and I could not catch the names of the channel cleaner and grease you used. Could you tell me (again)? Thanks in advance.
what’s the repairs you have done and how many years you owned this cube ? Is the parts in stock only for windows regulator or almost all parts are hard to find and replace? How reliable is the engine/ transmission after some miles ?
Don’t comment too much but kudos to diamond auto parts.
You should put that little shag carpet piece on the dash, that would be way cool!
Super cute. Not the Cube, it’s a goofy box but at least a working goofy box, lol. ;)
It would be cool if you could import a RHD Cube, take the rear end and splice it into the LHD rear end to have a symmetrical rear end and then make it so the hatch opens upward instead of sideways. You could make it so that either the glass does wrap around all the way (This would look better) or remove the wrap around glass completely.
That haircut do be kinda flames tho
Just joined the clan. Any way you can show me how to do that window regulator on a GMT 800? My 2000 Silverado 1500 has that going on 😆
I'm going to get my hands dirty today on our 2006 Cube Krom edition with a blown head gasket... wish me luck!
putting in a front windshield is really easy and they usually cost about $30 at local junkyards especially with all the electronic tools that they have to help specialty window removal Sawzall takes like 10 minutes
sheesh jr got a fresh cut
Hey watch let me know when you sell it!!! It would work good for my job as a construction inspector!! I live in Minnesota and all the cubes are rusty as hell!!! Thx
Here in the Bahamas we get them directly from Japan dirt cheap just like brand new $400 bucks they are very reliable
What about using masking tape stuck to the window and then wrapped around the frame?
actual lol when you opened the glove box
