Default Wanna see a magic trick?

Can anyone chime in and tell me what is going on and what I expect to come across once I pull door panel?

Edit: Also, my door is not opening from the outside when i unlock it.

LOL. had that happen to me too.

You're gonna need that clip that connects the rod to the door handle. ALSO, you may have caused major damage to that connector rod. Looks like you might need a new door actuator too

You should keep it the way it is, just use the lockout button so passengers can't roll it down.
nice feature to have if you ever wanna kick someone out, :P lol

ok, so i for sure need the clip, might need the connector rod and door actuator?

I tried searching for part #'s but could not find any. Does anyone have them?

I know, it has been a really good week to ride around with my windows down. Luckily I decided to roll them down in the parking lot and not on the freeway!

the connector rod is part of the actuator. They don't sell em separately. Gazi has em for 90 shipped or so. Dealer wants almost $300.
