Re: [DML] fast idle,problem found(I think)

Well, I can help with part of this. The door panel is actually 2 pieces.
The upper piece comes off really easily. You just need to pry it up - up
where it meets the window. There are these little "fir tree" fasteners
that hold the panel to the door.

Once that part is off, to get to where the window regulator is, you need
to take off the rest of the door panel (lower panel). The trickiest part
are these 2 10mm bolts that are right near the door handle. To see them,
you'll need to take out the mirror switch. One of the bolts is directly
under it. The other one is about 5 or 6 inches further back toward the
back of the door. You see these bolts by looking "down", which is a little
bit subjective when talking about gullwing doors. But if the door was
closed, you want to look down toward the ground - not in, as if looking
out the window (that was my big mistake).

After those bolts are out, there's also 4 or 5 obvious screws that were
hidden by the upper door panel. Then around the sides and bottom it's just
more "fir tree" fasteners. It's much easier done than said.

Of course, before you take the door apart, make sure it's not a problem
with your window switch. Take the passenger switch and plug it in to the
driver door wiring. Always take the door apart as a last resort (as it's a
big pain in the butt).
