88 S4, Auto.


Step 4:
Now the doorlock **** needs to be
removed. First pry off the cover over the
**** with a thin screwdriver (or something
similar).


Ok..i pretty convinced that the PO glued this back on.


Now what.

Bust/ cut it off and get a new one? It interfaces with a white plastic mechanism on the rear that is probably not super strong, so a little careful. The mechansim it $37 new at intl, probably $10 to $15 used. The **** is $3 and the cap is $1.50.

The natural enemy of such..is HEAT gun. Came right off. Dont see any cracks or anything, not sure what possessed someone to glue that back on.

ROTFLMAO, man you have all the luck, bad and this time some good. Congrats on taking your time and not freaking out and tearing it off. Good call.

Half the battle with pulling wrenches is knowing when to walk away.
Do not give up!!, just go cool off and come back fresh. spend time here and ask like you did, then go fix it the way you just did.
Next time you can tell someone how it comes off.
Slow and easy wins ...... and cost way less

If you think a 4,000 dollar 88 is a bag of snakes and pitfalls, here is a picture of my car when I bought it, I paid 1/10 of what you did.
Yep, got me a Porsche for 400 bucks and that **** saw me coming for sure.

The good parts were bad, this is the good.



getting worse.



down hill



But brother, this is a O F#$k moment when you figure out what is going on here.





One small ray of sunshine though.



Looks slightly better today, but I still have a ways to go.

This is what it looked like going back in the car.



Then this happened, another Oh F#$k moment.



The moral here is that any car can be fixed, if you stand back and write very large checks every time you turn around, in three or four years you can have a nice car.

Hang in there, do not use cheap assed parts, do the very best job you can and you can end up with a nice car.

Wow, they threw in everything, including the kitchen sink! (Well, actually, that looks more like a garage or workshop sink.)


(Nice save, BTW. )

And they threw in extra car parts, some day I may even figure out what kind of car they go on and where, but they do not go on a 87 928.

Nice work, you guys. Like Stan says, "keep 'em flyin"

My previous owner couldn't open the hatch, so I had to take it or leave it.
Took it.
Here's what my son and I found, tip of iceberg BTW:
