OMG someone fixed a 25yo $6K car with a ziptie in 10 minutes instead of tearing the door apart and spending valuable time and money for the same result. What a shame!

Maybe you should drive a new car with an warranty instead of a car that relies on the determination and ingenuity of enthusiasts to keep alive. Just a thought.

Wouldn't want to knowingly purchase a vehicle with repairs of that caliber...

Slippery slope on perceived value, where the cars get cheaper in the market because of McGiver "fixes", while for so many it seems that the cars aren't worth more than McGiver fixes because they seem so cheap in the market. Wire ties and shower curtains in the doors are the least of the problems. More are related to workmanship issues than the choice of parts, but I've seen more than a few creative fixes disguised as "improvements" on interesting cars. Some are actually improvements, most do somehow keep the car alive where it might otherwise have been parked for good. For an individual car to be recovered to serious collectible status, most of the "improvements" need to be fixed or at least correctly documented.

Kinda like software-- What's the difference between a "bug" and a "feature"? Good documentation. Most of the time it still needs to be fixed though.

There must be a lot of 10 minute fixes for our infamous 928's. A lot of them are gathered on Greg Nichols site we all know about, which is put together from writeups from this forum I believe: www.nichols.nu.tips
This tip is actually number 085: www.nichols.nu.tip085 you can find under interior/window rattle.
