Is there a "kit" for renewing this stuff?

How does one remove the panel, any tricks?  I'd like to adjust/lube 
the window regulators and service my handles.  Also, my power 
seat memory buttons seem to be intermittent.

Maybe this is my problem, shall I go to the archives to look for this, 
or is there a few-sentence response someone can give me as to 
what to do/look for?

Got problems there too.  Is it typically an adjustment issue, or  
switches, or motor?  Or all?  I thought it was my switch, but the 
motor is definitely burdened by the task.

I like the fact that my car only gets better as I fix things and make 
improvements.  I tend to be really critical of the tiniest issues.  On 
my Saturn, I don't think the comfort and performance can ever be 
there.  At least on my '88 5kcstq, when everything's working well, 
things are nice.  I'm predicting of course.

My car's come a long way since I bought it, and it's not even in bad 
condition.  I can imagine a basket case.  Actually, my donor car 
has seen better days.  That motor will see even better days tho'!

Later,
