Some f*cking morons tried to break in to my car.
I think it went something like this:
Smashed window -> oops didn't work
Mashed lock cylinder -> oops didn't work
made some scratches just for fun -> gave up
:mad
I've replaced the window and I just got my lock cylinder replacement kit (51218135960), but sine the lock cylinder is almost completely gone I don't know in which order to put the little plates and springs.

How do you know which order to put those plates?

You mean the plates that matches up with the key when inserted?
Only thing i've seen when people do this is to put them up by each other and use "common sense" to get it togheter, or i guess you could remove any other lock (not the glove compartment though as that is different and doesn't have all plates as the door locks have) and remove the plates in them one at a time and match it to that plate and put it back togheter and then do that with each. It's a very "pilligt jobb" and can be frustrating heh..

Ok, think I got it now. Some wafers (what I called plates) don't match 100%, but I think it's close enough.

Those MOTHERF*CKERS did it AGAIN. And this time they broke the other lock AND F*CKING smashed the door with some sort of hammer JUST FOR F*CKING FUN. WHY? Can't thieves just mf google "which cars don't have double lock" or "what car to break into"?

Sorry, had to write that.
