Pong,
you mentioned some time ago that you have no experience with wrenching. But I see you are trying hard.
You are doing well, try first the easy things, altough the door panel also can give some small headaches for the beginner.
If any probs, just ask, we try to help.
Step by step you will get more experience.
Good Luck and have a nice wrenching day.

thanks! got this car 2nd hand... have been fixing the interiors first... almost finished... (the rear seat for some reason still does not want to go out... ) with the help from this site... im moving quite well... unless i see more problems in the interior... i think this is the last one (except for detailed cleaning of course)

next stop... the exterior...
