Took the driver's door apart today to change the door glass channel. I already knew the door panel was a problem, and that something funky was up with the inner release handle. As far a I can see, the only rubber in the door is the glass guide & the rear molded seal, which I have coming tomorrow.
First problem was that the window crank was epoxied to the winder
Botch repairs here
Release plate is cracked & distorted.
release rod for outer handle is also a problem. I'll weld the rod.
release plate straightened out - have to weld the stress crack & reinforce the plate
The spline section of the winder crank was buggered, so I cut it off & prepped a replacement spline section from a 240 (Volvo) window winder
drilled both pieces & used a roll pin to join the pieces before welding, which I will do tomorrow.
Volvo crank is screwed in place once attached, no more spring clip to worry about. Crank winder plate rivets were drilled out to remove winder.
