WTB Interior passenger door panel
I'm not sure if there is a WTB section on here or not, please move this if there is, but I need everything that goes with the panel except the power window assembly. I have the two-toned black/tan door panels
Also how do you adjust the door to make it open and close easy? My passenger door is very difficult to pull

It helps if you post the year of the car as the panels are different. If the finger pull is the hard part you can adjust the drop bar on the handle to make it shorter. When they start getting hard to pull I've found the metal pivot tab on the handle is about to break. Take the handle off and clean/lube it well.
If the door is sticking you need to check the striker plate and latch to see if they are binding. You'll see where the latch hits the striker pin. Adjust the striker plate; the latch is a fixed adjustment.
If your car is an 85.5+ door handle replacement is one of the worst jobs out there. I just finished replacing both handles and rekeying on my 86. The 83 was a snap and has me spoiled. I swear it took me at 2 hours per door to get all those little plastic ball and sockets connected for the electric locks and lifter ****. I finally have a better way for next time.

I have a perfect almost new passanger side panel. I don't have the map pocket, but I have the armrest and the switch holder.
