Hey Everybody,
I just spent the better part of the day taking out the innards of my passenger door. Just doing one door at a time. It was rattling pretty hard to begin with and I am going to put some sound deadener in to hopefully quite my ride a little. Also the felts/ cat whiskers were in pretty bad shape, hinges were shot, and the power motor just burned out. There are a couple small items that I am looking for that either broke, were terribly corroded, or just missing:
1) The square rubber stops that keep the door from over closing. 2) A plastic ring that goes between the lock tumbler and door. 3) Screws that mount the door actuator. 4) Crisscross wire fasteners that mount the bottom panel to the door. 5) Push in fasteners that mount the upper door panel. These guys are shaped like a "U" and the vertical parts expand outward to fasten the panel to the door.
Has anybody fixed an upper door panel by re-attaching the pop fasteners? Did you epoxy it?

6) Also looking for the white trim snaps that attach the vinyl trim edges to the car.

I have been shopping around for replacement locks just to see if they have the spacers... and it seems like they are not used. Do people usually mount the tumbler metal on metal?
