      Got new parts today $5 eBay to repair the broken parts. Went smooth and key works perfectly, UNTIL I installed it on the car with handle. Key will NOT spin. I’m stumped. Removed and tested. Works perfect. Maybe the door lock mechanism won’t let it spin and it’s locked. Sucks.

    Thanks for the video!! I’m going to be wrapping mine next year, and so this is super helpful. Do you have a video on how to remove and replace the badges and lettering? That’s the other part that I’m curious about, since I’ll have to remove it all when I do the wrap. Thanks in advance!

    Hi. My driver’s door window drops when opening the door but then goes back up whilst the door is open and you let go of the door handle.
    It’s not the handle micro switch. Seems to be the door catch, which I’ve lubricated but the problem persists.
    Can you help please?

    While on the topic of door handles...Have you had any issues with the window not coming down quick enough to clear the top/frame and sticking/catching and popping? Thanks for the video!

      @HelpMeDIY  2 года назад +1

      +Jacob L. I haven’t really, but I think part of it is getting in the habit of lifting the handle, waiting a second, then opening the door. With any car like this you have to have a little patience :)
