Today was a Fail day.

Attempted to replace the driver's side handle carrier. First time ever attempting this (first time removing door panel actually).

2 hours later all I had accomplished was getting the door panel off and discovering a ripped vapor barrier (from the previous owner).

Put it all back together and now 3 of the 4 windows and the passenger side mirror will not respond to the switch panel. Removed the switch panel and reinstalled the connectors multiple times. No luck. Only had about a half-day to work on this so had to stop here.

End result: Door Carrier still broken, Window controls broken, side mirror control broken, multiple clips broken.

Ugh.
