Awesome, let us know when you get it.

 

UPDATE - Took the car into the garage on Friday.
Slow leak fixed in Front passenger tire.
Front brakes replaced.
Charging system checked out. No issues.

Good weather yesterday so I replaced the door handle.
Got the panel off and handle replaced in less than 20 minutes.
Metal handle and pin are much sturdier. Duh.
Only dropped the tiny retaining clip once.
Since I was going to have the door panel off anyway, I ordered new speakers, so I installed the new MTX component woofer.
The the problems popped up. When the door panel came off, the door cable popped right out. I didn't notice until putting it back in, that the plastic clip had snapped. (And I have removed all four door panels on my 2008 to replace the speakers without breaking that piece, so this was a surprise.)
After 20 minutes or so of trying to figure out what I could do to get it to work without the cable just popping back out, I came to the forum. Of course, someone else had this happen. So I grabbed some zip ties and eventually found a good enough way to secure the cable in the handle and still allow it to function.
I reassembled the door panel, swearing a few times when it didn't clear the clips at the edge of the window.
The I replaced the tweeter with the new MTX.
But it's all working now. Drove over some bumpy roads to see if the cable would pop out, and the wife was able to get in and out without a problem.

Thanks for the help.
I took some pics (but got too frustrated when I realized the cable issue to keep taking them). I'll upload them later.
And I will replace the driver's side speaker when I get another warm enough day.

 

You might replace that driver’s side inner door handle while you’re in there.
Happy to see you got it fixed!

 

I have definitely been thinking about that.
Here is a link to all of the pics I took. (I replaced the driver's side tweeter yesterday since I didn't take pics of the passenger side.)

And the Motor King link was backordered, so I found a metal handle on Amazon that arrived quickly. No instructions! But several YouTube videos handled that part.

Wow. One thread with electrical issues, door handles, and speaker replacement. What a trip.

 

Some reason you can't post pix here? Pretty simple, click on the landscape icon. Or, click on the Gallery button on the nav bar.

 

Laziness, mainly. Plus, there are 24 pics in the album, and posts are limited to 15.

 

We always love pictures! You can place photos in two posts.

 

You never can tell when imgur goes the same way photobucket did, or you delete your imgur account. Then somebody 5 years from now can't see the most important image in his life.

 

Both fair points. I have been in that position when replacing the blower motor and the pics were dead links.

 

You might want to split them up and do a how to.
