and we managed to install all seals. Left front door was a pain in the neck....Had to remove door panel last night because the locker moved out of its place when I tried to push it in for release. Also I droped a screw head into the door so I would have to open it up anyway. Upon removing door panel I saw that arm was just about to break....which in fact did this morning.

Look rupture point....this pic is from last year when it was fine.




Guess I"m gonna stick it together with a piece of metal and 2 bolts......has anyone ever replaced that arm?
