Alright my right door panel is coming off, Im guess its the plastic fasteners that are going bad. Can I replace the plastic pieces or do I have to change the entire panel? Also the passenger window is really slow is the motor burned or is their too much friction? Finally how do I replace/install the sunroof weather stripping as water is leaking into my car :(

You should be able to buy new fasteners, and/ or make minute adjustments to the top section where the panel meets the door. The only reason I say "should" is because the panel is made out of a particle board like material and could have broken. Once you take the panel off it will be pretty clear.

A little lube goes a long way, and should help your window move a little faster. As far as I know when you have "burned" an electric motor it won't move at all. If the motor was accessable(sp) which it might be, cleaning(dusting) the motor and replacing the brushes would do wonders for it. I've never looked into it.

Does the leak in your sunroof run down the A-pillars, if so the problem is the drains and not the weather stripping. My sunroof went on the fritz before the weather stripping went out. But my drains have always been leaking.

Just some guestimates of your fixes:)

Thanks! For the advice, ill try it!

Oh and yse the water leaks down the A pillars, but its because I have no rear half of the sun roof weatherstripping period so I need to install some. I ripped it out cuz it broke my sunroof assembly the first time when it got stuck inbetween the sunnroof and the actualy shell of the car. So i need to figure out how to fix that.
