the lock on the passenger side has sunk in about 1 inch, and i cant lock that door at all. i'm planing on removing door panel and taking a closer look. any one do this before have some suggestions? what are my options when it comes to the lock, should i just resecure it? or buy a new one? please help.
secondly, the bucket lights have gone out, on both of them. but the bulbs look fine. i also tried replacing with new bulbs and still didnt work. anyone kno if its a common problem, and wut the solution is?

when you get the door panel off you will need to use a 10mm socket
and a extension to get the 2 bolts off the door handle.
You can do one with the window up, and one with the window down.
what the hell is a bucket light?

bucket light: the light inside the lil buckets behind the seats.
i just took off the door panel...you lying ****'s there were at least 7~8 screws! took forever with out power tools. and i cant seem to get to the lock itself; the glass is blocking it. the lock is just moving around freely, i cant seem to keep it in place, should i just super glue it back? maybe some screws are loose? how is the lock supposed to be secured?
thanks.

roll the window down to get to the handle, You will need to
plug in your window switch to do it. I told you
that already. 2 10mm bolts and use
a extension. You will need to plug in your window switch to do it.
I never said how many screws were in the panel, usually there
are 4 on the armrest, one on the inside handle cover, one behind
the inside handle cover, then there is something like 4 more around
the perimeter of the door panel, some buried in the carpeting on the
bottom.
