[s-cars] Project S6 door update

[chris chambers]

Andy,

if you have stick locks/latches the problem is the springs that have a 
lubricant become sticky. 


The recommended fix that worked for me was to remove the latch assembly from the 
door and soak it in transmission fluid for 24 hours, periodicly working the 
mechanism until it
operated freely.

After the latch works freely clean with brake cleaner and relube and reinstall.

HTH
Chris

I'm going to pull all the door panels off and clean/lube the locks and 
latches.  Evidently this car came with the standard Bose cassette stereo, 
but had some sort of big system which has since been removed.  There's a 
pair of Monster RCA patch cords under the back seat and some Boston 
crossovers buried under the kick panels.  The Bose cassette HU is in SAFE 
mode, I'm going to replace it with an NOS Blaupunkt that I had on the shelf. 
I don't plan to go overboard on the stereo, but I'd like to put something 
decent together.  What size replacement speakers should I be looking for? 
Front doors?  Rear hat shelf?  Other suggestions?

Wylie was absolutely right, the rear spring perches were installed 
incorrectly.

Thanks,

Andy
