So just this summer i had my windows fall off the track (fixed) and the Door Jam thing (piece that stops your door from closing when gravity would like to crush your ankle as you exiting the vehicle) huge pain to get all the way in there and replace - but replaced.
My door handle broke like 3 weeks ago. It snaped in the thin section under the lock. Ill take a pic and post it later but it seems i would need to replace the whole handle (pop-rivets anyone?)...
{{I think ive ran across this thread b4 in the past.}}
So I've been forced to open the window and open the door via the outside handle, but just yesterday i heard a clunk and my window fell off the track.. then (stupidly) i tried to fix it while driving and heard a big ol' crack (pretty sure i snapped both sides of the window reg clips) cause when i got home no matter how i tried to get the regulator to grab the window and hold it up, it wouldn't. As far as i know the window is free floating (held up via cardboard jammed in the window slot) ugh...
On top of it all, I know for a fact that something is bunked up with my exterior door lock. (i stupidly never tried to manually unlock the car when i first test drove it so who knows when it happened) but the key has NEVER slid all the way into the lock, i try my key on my buddies LS it goes in all the way (just wont open it - duh)...So i feel i should replace the lock while I'm at it.
Also, I've had trouble with my exterior DS handle not working in the past (i had to roll down the window and open it from the inside - just my luck now both side have given me he77) - figure that may as well be taken out and replaced as well....
As it looks, im pretty much gonna need to replace the whole freaking guts of the door... just really sucks now that winter is here and currently no alternate car.
Might have to even consider dealer ship repair - but im sure it would cost an arm and a leg (i just spend 1300 on LowerControlArms and Front Struts and im getting sick of dumping loads of $ into this thing)
Will it ever stop!?!?!?
Exterior Door Handle -
Exterior Door Lock Kit (found this in a quick search. any one ever used this??- http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOOR-SWITCH-LOCK-CYLINDER-TUMBLER-KIT-/170930518023?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27cc40b807&vxp=mtr
Interior Door Handle - found a few on ebay. nothing to promising though mostly used.
Door Actuator (why not while in there) - 179.99 (new in box-ebay)
Window Regulator -
or CLIPS sold seperatly -
Pretty much just looking for any advice on tackling this.
Perhaps a few existing threads. Ill be doing some searching tom - but any head start would be appreciated - its my bday today and my LS just took a huge **** on it :0
Any Part # for the above would be of help or ebay store/auction.
Also any parts I'm missing if I'm looking to gut out the door and replace half the stuff in it??
I honestly dont wanna have to peel off that door pannel anytime in the next two years after this - im getting to good at it (3 broken currently - 1 i broke in like my 8times taking it on and off)
Cheers and ty in advance
