Door Pull/Knob & Door Panel

Driver's side & yep gray interior

I'll be going by the yard where I got your carpet + board tomorrow. Should have no problem pulling that for you. The panel is already out of the way.

Did you figure out how to get the panel off? Window crank, two screws in the arm rest, 1 screw in the door handle, and one screw in the bottom front corner, then take a putty knife, or something similar and pop the plastic pieces out of the door. When you do the window crank, there's a metal spring/clip that holds the handle on. I'm sure they make a tool specially to get that clip out, but I just pull up my shirt-tail, slide it between the crank and the panel, and slide it back and forth. And be ready to watch where that spring/clip goes. Sometimes it come out slowly, sometimes you end up digging through the grass to find it.

Not sure if you went already but this is what I need plus the rod & plastic clip. It's currently broken and covered in tape as you can see. I believe the rod and door pin/pull are one piece. Oh and it would be great to get the little plastic "surround"...the thing that fits around the pull and lays on the door so you can't see the gap between the pull & the panel itself.

Well, no luck on the knob/pull/rod thing. Cracked open 7 or 8 driver's gray driver's side door panels today, and on every one of them, either the rod was broken or so badly bent it was useless, or the plastic piece was already broken. Hopefully someone else can grab one for you.

Well at least you tried... I am trying to see if Freshtiva or smcawc have one.

[batstiva]

Best of luck. Not a good day at the pick and pull. I'll post about that later. :banghead: :banghead:

Uh oh sounds like a story..but then again at least you have access to tivas at your pick and pull. Mine all laugh at me and say they haven't seen a tiva in 20 years! lol! Which is funny since many that are still on the road aren't quite 20 yet

^^ Bee stung, snake bit, and chased out of a car by a fox, just for starters.:evil:
Soon as I go grab another beer, I start trying to put the day in words.

Sorry to laugh but even though I dom't know you i can imagine what your face looked like by the time you left the jy lol!

No groundhogs though. I got into a wasp nest the other day mowing. Son of a .........gun that smarts.

Hey freshtiva can you see the image on page 2? It's what I was trying to pm you.

[batstiva]

^^ Not seeing an image.
And no fresh, not a single groundhog, and I had the groundhog killer with me today.

Interesting. must be cuz the album image is private. Let me try again.

Can you guys see it now?

[batstiva]

^^Yup, I see it now. I have that little top piece, that just screws onto the top of the rod, but all the rods I looked at today were either bent, broken, or the plastic piece at the other end was broken.

Really? :p Not to be naive but how does the top piece (the piece covered in tape ) screw on if it's square or does the rod screw into the base of the square thing? Do you have the little "surround" that goes at the base too? So you can't see the gap between the square piece and the door panel itself?

I sprayed some wd 40 throughout the door on all the rods and in the key hole. It seems to be working better..so I could probably get away with just getting the square piece and the surround for now.
