Door Lock

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

friends, I have falied to heed my own advice.

Since getting our 1990 200, I have not pulled all the door panels and 
lubed the pivot points of the lock mechanisms with white lithium 
grease.  Yes, I admit it, "I am a non-luber."

Yesterday while taking the kids on an outing, I turned the 
key in the driver's side door lock and got the dreaded "SNAP" as the 
link between the lock and the door lock mechanism broke.  As Trudy 
said in "Support Your Local Sheriff",  "D**N,D**N,D**N,D**N,D**N."

And I know better.  I have exhorted many of the 5K series owners to 
do this simple preventive lubrication maintenance to keep their door 
handles from breaking.  And today, I read of the same thing happening 
to a V-8 owned by another list member.

So while I get this sorted out, I implore others on this list to get 
those stinkin' lock mechanism pivots lubed so they don't have similar 
failures.

Now, if I can just figure out what I did to the Audi gods.  Shoot, 
maybe they're in league with Bose!  EEEEEKKKKKK!
