Well after reviewing several threads here and watching youtube. I tackled the rear door once more. It started off as an OH #$%^ because the door would not open from outside or inside. HA I said. I already studied the YOUTUBE video where someone had the same problem and was able to remove the door card with out damaging it from the inside. I carefulle got the door card off , no damage. was able to push the mechanism very hard to get the door to unlatch. Now for the fun part. I removed the rubber from the new unit and placed the old units rubber on. Then I removed the cable portion of the new assembly and put the old cable portion on the new unit. I carefully measured the old and new cable. the new units cable was 3 / 16 shorter than the old cable. I also noticed a significant difference in how the rubber seated on the new unit which was different that the old unit. After some component swaps to the new unit, Making sure I got the unit under the lip of the door. It fit like a glove with no hesitation of installation or binding. Due to the fact that I had to remove the back seat portion to get the door card off, I found about $3.50 in coins, lots of gummy bears and a pile of trash. I got that all cleaned up and for now the doors are lubed, functioning and happy. Next I need to find the plastic covering which layed on the floor. AFter many years it just disintegrated. I want to thank all who help out in these forums. As an avid euro exotic collector, sites like this are worth every penny. I hope I can help in the future as you all do for everyone. Thanks
