[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8482649, member: 664761"] So last night I started working on my driver side door. What I thought was going to be a quick job turned into a bit of a nightmare. So.. with my car it has a plastic covering hiding the inside part of my door once the door panel is removed.

Not knowing this I thought maybe there was some components that bolted onto fasteners to the door and not the plastic piece. Well, I removed the window motor and accidentally unwound the motor. That was not an easy task getting it back together and I ended up spending a little over 2 hours on that and a scratch to my tint. BUT, if that had not happened it would have been a pretty easy task.
