87 Series III. Bought off BAT, car had been sitting for years. Everything was stiff...except the tires.

The door was nice enough to open and shut properly all winter when I went inside to clean/inspect but as soon as it warmed up...thud. Wouldn't shut.

So...first stop: YouTube. Saw a few vids, but the door panel removal was contradicted in a few videos, so I looked it up here..yup, the missing link.

I got lucky, just needed a little de-gunking and a lot of lubricant.

 

Oh just a tidbit, in case you don't know.

I started cleaning the door sills, door jambs, etc. and of course ended up detailing a lot of small bits around the car.

If you look in your gas filler caps, there is a metal tag held on by two Phillips head screws....I suspected the void would be filled with barn fodder from it's previous few years and was I right!

The drain holes were plugged on both

sides.
