Thanks so much. In reviewing the service manual it seems like removing the door panels is pretty straight forward. Are there any hidden gotchas I need to look out for?

Default Door

I'm gonna say this, and then i'll leave this conversation alone. I have been inside the doors, changed speakers, even changed the window motor in a Different car, But I say this seriously: (HAVE A PROFESSIONAL DO THIS WORK FOR YOU), You will feel better in the End, about it. Stuff in there is not as simple looking as it First appears to be when you go into it.

A good all-purpose lubricant spray is Tri-Flow. It does have silicone, and I believe PTFE; just a little bit is all that is required. It works wonders for moving parts, linkages, bearings, etc.
