[QUOTE=WolfeMacleod;15853708 They swelled, and became too thick.[/QUOTE]

Be careful Wolfe...with descriptions like this you could be responsible for 968 owners everywhere causing a run on this aerospace stuff!

Also your excellent video has just been banned for PED's.... The standards committee will be reviewing your next video very carefully for any antics and use of any PED's while performing the procedure. Im officially back on the fence with this tactic being an internet legend.

 

I can't stop laughing

 

Heh. I use 303 religiously. I sure wasn't expecting the swelling result, though.
I redid the swelled seal today Took about 5 minutes. I did give it a good spray of 303 beforehand.

I'm not sure what you mean by "PEDs"

It wasn't all that difficult, really. My thumbs aren't particularly strong.
I'll bet a popsicle stick used as a lever, throught the seal, and braced against the metal top of the microswitch would work great. Push the free end of the stick towards the window, stretch the seal just enough to make slipping over the mechanism easy.

Seriously, using this method was stupid easy. So easy in fact, that I'd be willing to do it for local Seattle cars.

 

Wolfe PED (performance enhancing drug) acronym from sports world. Type PED into the Google machine. Aerospace stuff IE metaphor from sports world.

 

I finally figured out that the easiest way (hmm, not sure that is a good description) is to remove the window regulator, window and then there is access to the top screw for the rear lower window track. With all that out, there is all kinds of access. Easier to do that than to futz around trying to get the linkage on with no access.

 

Bent screwdriver works well.

 

Tried that too. So did a neighbor.

Seriously. The method I filmed was stupidly easy.

 

Another victim here, trying to get the door handle off to replace a broken door handle trigger part number 944.537.672.00.
Late 94 couple with electric locks and M490 HiFi sound (which adds 83742 fasteners and makes every instruction out there on removing door panels incomplete).
I do not see what or where to disconnect to get the handle completely free nor does mine seem to look like all the other diagrams I can find.
I can't see nuthin' through the door panel nor looking in the removed air vent on the edge of the door. Clark's garage et al make it sound like this is a piece of
cake so I either have Frankencar or am just not getting it. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks

yes, your last picture does indeed show the anti-theft plate.

 

Just off the top of my head, the plastic attachment square piece swings up and attaches to the ball.
