I've removed all visable screws and have managed

to get the arm rest/power window controls off.



I am trying to get to the mechanics of the power window,

what do I do next? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

pop the clips on the bottom of the door and lift up

gently pull the bottom of the door panel outwards



mike

keyword here is gently

I forgot to mention I use a "special" tool to pop the panel clips!

i use my fingers and kinda do it one at a time



mike

flathead screw driver worked for me

that tool is available at autozone for cheap, it's a cross between a screwdriver, prybar, and fork.

just remember there is a screw behind where the inside door handle is

and by the way- next time you dont have to remove the arm rest, just

the 4 screws hidden underneath. There also might be some screws hidden

in the carpet along the bottom there, in the middle and on the sides.

I seem to remember prying not so gently on Banzai's TII door panel one time hehehehehe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Nothing like seeing John and I buried up to our shoulder in a door panel thats having no thoughts of budging!! There is more to the story but still a funny picture!

HEY!!!!!! Thats because the door latch was broken BITCH!!!!!!!

Where are these clips you are talking about? what do they look like?

my penis worked nice

you probably wont see them until you take the panel off, they are round on one side where they slide into notches in the panel, and pointy on the other where they go into the inner door skin.

Ive got the right hand side off, but it seems to be stuck down the bottom middle?

Thanks guys, got it off. No visable signs of damage https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

was there a screw hidden in the carpet?

Yeh it was, 2 of them! There seems to be some dodgey stuff, like bits of cable and connectors just free standing.. like it has been off before. ill post a pic and show you what I mean.....



The problems are:

No central locking (when my model should have)

Door handle light only working sometimes

Power window not lining up and making crunch noises when it gets to the top

These are the 2 connectors with nothing going into them, in the upper left corner

This is a weird piece of something that looks like its been snapped off?

Another connector....

Last one.... a black piece of something.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

those connectors are for premium sound system hook ups and **** like that are dealer end options

ok the last pic is part of the window regulator, 2nd to last is the door speaker connector, 3rd pic up that white thing is to make the harness stiffer/easier to wrap.



mike

Can you guys tell from the first pic if my car actually does have central locking? Or what can I check?

i dunno if they had it until 88 over here, you need to look on the passenger side for a "motor" or actuator on the lock rods. clean and lube up the window regulators while you're in there



mike

ok, what are the window regulators?

its the thing that makes the window go up and down



mike

damn, i'm having trouble getting my door panel off...



i only wanna get the top corner off to install a new air vent...



i think i'm being too gentle with it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif
