more car

in case anyone else just sort of needs resolution wherever it's available.

after removing various layers of car door, we discovered that the problem was pretty much as we had suspected. fixing it, however, required removing things that we could definitely remove, but couldn't see to put back properly. so we decided on the eighty seven cent fix instead of the eighty seven dollar fix: go to home depot and buy every small clamp in the store (to eliminate the necessity of returning) and just clamp the damn window shut from inside the door. it's not just the ghetto OF the car, it's the ghetto IN the car that counts.

and i even got a parting gift -- a small irwin quick grip clamp -- because, my dad said, "they're so cute."
