Window problem/removing 1990 door panel????
Sorry if it's been adressed before but I don't have anymore time (already spent 30 minutes) to search for the answer.
My POS CORVETTE is breaking on me again (HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I REGRET BUYING THIS CAR OF ALL OF MY PAST CARS!) I went out to try and fix my stereo problems today (ONE OF MANY WITH THIS POS!) I rolled down my drivers window and heard a noise and the window stopped going down. I can't hear the motor run/try to run when I push the window switch either way. I think it's off track because the window is angled outward a little. I've started taking the door panel off, I know about the three screws in the handle area of the door but I can't get the plastic off to get to the one behind the lock indicator. The one site I found had a 92 and up door panel which there was a screw behind the window switch but mine doesn't have that type of door panel. So is there one hiding somewhere I don't know about???
Any help please, I just want to get the thing secure so I can leave it alone for another 4 months so my blood presure doesn't skyrocket from working on it and it constantly breaking. :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad
TIA,
Ron
P.S. I'm thinking of parting the POS out or having someone torch it..... :D , just kidding about the torch.

"I'm the second owner of this beautiful car. This is one of the cleanest 1990 Vettes out there. I bought it from a coworker who babied this car like crazy. Garaged most of it's life. I've owned it for about 8 months now. I'm selling it because I bought a new house and need some cash for landscaping my new backyard." :D

You should be able to pry out the lock switch slider(or whatever it's called) and remove the screw.

Midgetfist: What's your point.......it's a clean POS? That add is old and I didn't have these problems when I posted it, however it is still accurate. It is a clean vette, it's just a POS clean vette with a few problems that have been lingering for awhile. Just when I'm fixing one problem another arises. It only has 43K miles on it and was babied the whole time. That doesn't make it a beat up POS just a clean POS. I've owned chevys and loved chevys with three times the mileage this POS has and haven't these kind of problems. Your post was of no help to me.
Brimis: Thanks for the enlightenment, I feel educated and unsuccessful. Your post was of no help to me.
Mr Mojo: Thanks for the info, I'll try it when I relight my candle of success. :D
Interesting how I've only posted a couple of times in this forum and most of the time I end up being put down. One helpful post out of three isn't bad I guess.
