nothing yet MT!!!

excellent instructions on how to remove and install the sliding door trim panel, but this is the part that installs/protects the guts of the sliding door lock system from the back of the trim panel. there arent any screws to fasten, clips, ect. it looks as though it hangs/clips onto the bracketing with the tabs somehow. it acts as a "standoff" so the back of the trim panel doenst rub/interfere with the lock mechanism.

whos going to take another run at the victory lap and top place on the podium?

 

fyi...i have since reinstalled the drivers sliding door trim panel WITHOUT this part installed "between" the trim panel and covering the lock mechanism. i just could not figure out how to put it on there!! hell...i dont even know which way is "up" on this thing!

ill probably have to look at another one just like it and go off of that.

I'll re-post this here (why two post for the same thing???)

The only instructions I found was:

- Install latch / lock cover.

With the following illustration:

I had the same picture but couldn't get it to work right.

 

why george!?!? because the DRIVERS SIDE (drivers left) is different!!!

you are getting warmer!! yer climbing up on to that top box on the podium!!!! almost there!!!

drivers side is a mirror image. Think we'll leave the rest of the leg work to you.

 

i am encouraged that someone thinks a part could be a mirror image, i mean why would GM/dodge make something so simple?!?!

from the illustration one can see "which way is up", which is a BIG clue. i think the monkey with the spanner can take it from here. heh.

thanks!
