Hey, thanx for the link! My locks havn't caused any trouble, and they've been operated when it's 12 degrees F below zero but it'll be nice to know the "right" way to remove the door panel if I ever need tol

I would take one small exception to what it says in the instructions. Before you work on electrical stuff on your car, it's better to remove the NEGATIVE battery connection than the positive one. That's because when you're removing the positive cable with the negative still attached, your wrench is likely to bump into a whole bunch of uninsulated stuff at -12v potential, but if you're removing the negative, there's very little uninsulated stuff at +12v potential. Like I said, it's a small exception . . . .

That's funny because there were no bad parts just linkage that wasn't straight and needed adjustment so it wouldn't stick anymore.

When my installer was working on my doors he filed down the opening in the doorpanel, there are some bures or small pieces of plastic the lock rubs on. Looked like a simple fix and I havnt had any trouble since.
Hope that helps

Thanks FREQBOX, this was the exact solution to my issue.
