Beauty,

Thanks for your speedy reply...
I'm digging into this now... no FOBs, no brake light, no glass latch (wiper pivot seized) loads of rust around the top of the door hinge area.

Going to try to temp fix the current mess and then get the repair stuff.

Thanks again!

Clive

 

1st thing, just getting started, I hed a look at the door hinge nuts, rusty and corroded, sprayed penetrating, liquid wrench, wd 40...
Gingerly applied a bit of heat (not enough) and cracked the first one - it sheared off the thread. Now I am down one rear glass fastener.
So I removed the cable trays without detaching the glass.

Here are a few PICs

OOps! Snapped that off...

NOT the first rodeo

 

Dang… I’m sorry you have so much corrosion and a wiring mess on your hands!

 

Here is what the last repair looked like... most wires have broken at the crimps - no strain relief

Like a bag of snakes
