    The 1990-1993 passenger door panel has a hidden screw under the window switch. The window switch can be removed with two small screwdrivers. Gently pry the switch out of the door panel. In the hole where the switch was should be a 7-mm screw. This screw goes into a bracket that is held with a screw to the door panel. Be sure to check this bracket before reinstalling the door panel. Many brackets are missing or loose. This is also a good indication if the door panel was removed previously. It is a good idea to put this screw back in place. You can capture the screw in a 7-mm socket with some masking tape or electrical tape. This makes installing the screw in the recess much easier.

      JUst bought some new door panels from Top Flight Automotive. The door panel has been modified where you must remove the screw and bracket as there is no where to attach the screw. Plus, if you try to put new panel in with the bracket in place, panel sticks out to far to fit correctly. I guess this a good thing but......I like OEM originality even if it was difficult or flawed.

      Did you like the new panels? I'm thinking of ordering new ones as well

      @@celestinoprien3387 I didn't order or replace the door panels, just the anchor nuts. You may have intended to reply to @RM-gv2yv

    Between your video, a 70+, a newbie wrencher, and my daughter, we were able to fix the problem the former owner created when he failed to put this screw in. It was the screw you missed in the video that is behind the window switch after you remove it. Thanks again and now to fix the passenger lock from being sticky.

    I have a Porsche, had a second Porsche, and had an Audi. I've done work to all of them but extensive work to my current Porsche, but it was a lot easier to work on than the Vette.

      Easiest way to change a taillight bulb is to find a person with skinny arms and small hands. A slim 10 - 16 year old girl or boy can be successful with the least effort.

      7mm nut driver, or 7mm socket on 1/4" extension. use a magnetic retriever to get the screw out from behind the door panel.

    That’s funny bcuz that same screw is already broken on my door! matter fact that’s the reason I’m watching this video is because I’m trying to fix it because it holds the handle that you used to open and close the door… so it really sucks. I have to fix it!!

    Hey man my door won't shut , it's the latch but tried the key trick and still won't do anything , also can't open the door from the outside please help

    • @aDIYCarGuy
      @aDIYCarGuy  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      someblindkhaos i can't tell what's wrong without seeing it in real life but you should start by taking the door panel off and seeing if any of the rods are disconnected, or lubricate the latch, or take the latch off and examine it, maybe a spring broke or something else broke in it.
