Leave the name calling out please. And the discussion about potential future signatures on another site are pushing the "don't be a dick rule" in this instance. Discussions about actions/antics against other sites is a hard no.

What he said. Especially when "other sites" are massive Internet conglomerates with a shit-ton of attorneys.

Nah it's more like "who fucking cares? you don't like Rennlist (dammit), then stay off it and stop whining about it!" ;)

I'm the least good person about "letting go" - but if I can do it, KCA...

Funny, because it was doing it and now it has stopped. Single unlock and single pull, opens right up. But mechanical things tend to get worse, not fix themselves. What do you figure is the amount of time it takes to replace the latch? I know you have been there multiple times so probably much quicker, but was just wondering. I've done my window regulators, so I know all about that.

It took me a little over an hour. That includes removing/installing door panel. I think it took me almost 2 hours the first time I attempted this, but I was taking photos for a guide.
