hey folks, i was at the ATM this morning, went to roll up my window and *CLUNK* now the window handles spins freely and doesnt move the window... so its obvious something broke down there... im trying to remove the door panel to attempt to fix whatever fell apart/broke and im at my wits end.. ive removed all the screws i can find, and the window crank. and the panel is still held in there like glue.. someone whos done this before care to tell me what im missing? i can only assume theres some types of clips holding it on, if so what and where? anybody got diagrams? thanks for any help! Aaron.

Once you start to disengage a few clips work your way up the sides of the door panel. The door panel will have to be raised in order to disengage it at the top, There may be hidden screws near the mirror area. After the panel is loose you'll probably have to disengage the door handle connecting rod and the mirror switch wires. Regards, Dusty |

| The driver side seat recliner handle on my 2000 Dodge Dakota broke off in my hand today. The seat is stuck back at nearly a 45 degree angle, which, needless to say, makes driving the thing a tad uncomfortable. I messed around under the seat for about 30 minutes, and was unable to get the seat to come back up. I don't really care whether or not I restore the reclining functionality, I just want to be able to get the seat to come back up one time to a comfortable upright position and I'll just leave it there for good. Is there a way to do this manually by hand this one time... or am I going to have to take it somewhere and have them replace the handle or more? | |
| yon should be able to get a pair of pliers on the shaft where the handle broke off and turn it... | |
My truck as been to the shop 2 times in the past month because water is leaking, supposed from the door seals. Has anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: saddakota (Feb 28, 2007 2:51 pm) They found several places along the firewall, where screws didn't completely seal the holes they were anchored into. I don't know yet if they've cured the leak yet, because we haven't had any hard rains since the fix was done. I have no choice but to park across a hill at home, with the driver's side uphill, and passenger side downhill. It wouldn't surprise me if I still experience leaks, as I've often opened my D/S door after a rainstorm, only to have a stream of water run out along the seal (like it's been piling up against it). I'd rather find out sooner, rather than later, if I still have a problem. I may find out tomorrow, as we have a decent chance for rain, tonight.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Mar 01, 2007 8:32 am) When I called the dealership, the service manager asked me where it was coming in. I said that it looked like it was coming up over the weatherstripping, at the door threshhold. His response was "That's impossible!", which came across more like "You LIAR!"  They already owe me a new piece of plastic trim for the passenger side threshhold/kickpanel area, from where they cracked it while replacing the carpet. I've been jerked around over that, as well. For a "5-star dealership", this guy certainly isn't earning any points with me... The trim piece should be in early next week, at which time, they'll take another whack at fixing the leak.
