Thanks for the help

[Al Streicher]

Thanks to all who directed me to websites or their own sites (Huw). I had to
replace the lock carrier and with your discussion also put in a new
cylinder. The write-ups were very helpful. I waited for a long weekend to
apply my knowledge and talent. I'm not perfect. Everything came apart as
directed and with a few tries went back together correctly. The carrier is
now made from a steel stamping. I installed a new cylinder, and transferred
the springs and tumblers. When I do it on the passenger door, I will order
or find new springs. The old ones showed lots of use.

Things have gone up in price. The carrier, 893-837-287-D and 893-837-288-D,
$17.00 each. Here on the islands, I was quoted $38 for the carrier, no
thanks. Cylinders are about $21, bare bones, no springs or tumblers.

I also greased/lubed all the associated cabling. Checked the venting or
drain holes at the bottom of the door. They were open. I cleaned the
contacts for the window switches.

If I had a newer car, I would have nothing to do.
