Dang, sorry I didn't read the suggestion before I left, I should have given them the title and walked the 22 miles home.

Got the door installed yesterday afternoon. Word to the wise, when you go to Pick-N-Pull, and you find parts in the exact color you need, that is a WARNING. Anyway, the electric mirror does not work now, not sure why, I used the one I had on the old door. The window works, has some ugly tint on it, kinda purple.

Now the radio does not come on.

Will do the roof liner this morning. I guess I'll post pics. There are good youtube videos on How To.

Done with the roof liner. Was able to get by with 1 can of 3M spray glue. The stuff came out of the can like crazy string. Rolled the liner out like the youtube video I watched but I got some slight ripples inthe liner. Not sure if they will smooth out in a few days or not. I also got 1 crease about 4" long. 300 Times better than NO liner but if I were planning to keep the car for a long time, I think I would leave it up to the pro's next time. I saved about $20 applying the material myself and about $70 total.

Only have 5 things left to do, knock on wood.
1. Figure out why the radio stopped working.
2. Get the Service Engine checked out.
3. Adjust the door I installed.
4. Clean the interior.
5. Get 2 ties.

I really don't think it's possible. Just can't win with this car.

I adjusted the door I installed.
Lubed the drivers side rear window.
Installed the window switch for the passenger rear door.
Cleaned the car a little more.
Fixed the radio.
Cleared the Service notification.

And now...
The window I lubed came off the track.
The door I installed the window switch in has broken and now will NOT open.
Still need 2 tires.
Still need to clean the rear seats & exterior.

A '95 Saturn needs the older OBDI scanner.

No, I got it working. It was a blown BODY fuse.

I might just win this battle.

I pulled the door panel off of the window that went off track and found the track guide broken in 2. I pulled one off of the bad door and it's good to go.

Pulled the other door panel off after I remove the back seat and the door came right open. I think the panel was binding the handle some how and stop it from working. So I adjusted the door panel, put it back together and it works right.

Now, just the deep cleaning. Yah!

Got it all cleaned up, except for the floors and floor mats. I power washed, beat, shook on and on and on and these mats are still loaded with dirt. I give up. And the carpets are just to dirty as well. I have never seen carpets so dirty. I even tried the carpet cleaner thing at the car was, really can't see the difference. Not just stained, still full of dirt.

I was able to get the seats, door panels, dash, console and other things clean. The outside came pretty clean as well.

I'm done. I think I'm going to sell the thing today.
