Onto the Doors…

Mileage: 88,601

 

Now that the majority of the Trans Am interior was done, I wanted to move onto a couple functionality items.  Both the driver and passenger doors, have random rattles inside and need a little attention.  The drivers door needs new hinge pins and bushings, window felts, new door handle cups, and window crank hole covers.  The passenger door needs window felts, a power lock actuator, new door handle cups, and window crank hole covers.  It also need some adjustment because the window drops below the window felt and catches it when you role the window up.  I decided to start with the passenger door first, since it would be easier.

The window felt was super easy to replace and looks so much better than the old cracked one.  I figured out why the window was dropping down so low, the bump stop had fallen off the bracket and was laying in the bottom of the door.  It appears a previous repair had also failed.  I simply reinstalled it and the problem was solved!

 

 

I finished up with replacing the door handle cups, and window crank hole covers.  There wasn’t anything wrong with them, but the paint was wearing off and they needed freshening up!

 

I put the door back together without replacing the door lock actuator or reinstalling the dust shield.  I pretty much ran out of time and didn’t want to miss out on driving anymore this year!  I will be sure to get the lock actuator purchased over the winter and get everything ready to go for next spring!
