Window & door armrest handle pull info

[runner]

Finally it's driving time around here. But, I need to fix/ maintain a couple items.

1. My drivers side door armrest pull for closing door has pulled loose(the screw) from the card. I have always tried to close door from inside by just holding on to the vent window post- slightly cracked- to avoid this. But, somehow it still happened over the years.

2. On the same drivers door, the window works and goes down, but about 3/4 down starts to "scrap a bit" , seems to be grabbing, so I don't want to go further and mess it up. Should be lubricated etc?

So, on the above, I need directions again, on how to put the door card without braking clips and also where/how to take off handle if needed. Just playing it safe.

3. Rear passenger window has suddenly stopped working. It is up, but does nothing when I use the switch. No noise either. My 1st thought is to take the center consult window switch out and clean contacts. If so, again, directions on removing before I break anything.

Thanks
John

For 3 you can try the switch in the rear seat and see if the console switch was the problem.

Thanks for information. Hopefully I get to it this weekend.

Never pull on armrest, use the door handle underneath only. The screw is a course one and fairly large. It's hard to get it secured into the door, I do this one first and then leave the other two for last.

No kidding, I have the same issue and I always ask a pedestrian to close my door from the outside.

Thanks All. Obviously agree, it fact wonder how it happened since I don't use the armrest. Guess, just from the driving vibs
