Removing Factory Door Lock Pull

[spike22]

i wonder how hard it would be to move the lock knob to a different location on the door...*smiles*...but that's for a different thread....
Prop: I have a 32" inseam...but that is neither here nor there...lol...i agree that most of them can be overcome by moving the seat...though i have found that i like the placement of my seat for driving (all the way to the floor and as far back as i could to keep my knee from rubbing) but i can't get away from the lock knob...if i move any closer to the steering wheel, my knee rubs...(i have bad knees, so i do anything i can do to keep from them being irrated)....if i move any further back, it's too far back to be comfortable ride...like i said...those are the only neg's for me...

[spike22]

i didn't even think about just unscrewing it....*smiles*...i might just try that....lol
and thanks for the info on positioning...and im sorry about your friends arm...that must of sucked...

Well Spike, if you haven't already done it, I experimented with my Caliber. Unscrewing the lock knob results in the knob coming loose, but you can't pull it out, and you can't re-attach it because the shaft falls to the side. And of course when I let go of the knob it fell inside the door. The power door locking still works, just no knob. So I have a choice now. Tear the door apart so I can reattach the knob, or go to Lowes and get a color matched plastic hole plug. I know what you'd do, Spike.;)

it sucks that you'll have to take the door apart...*smiles*...and you're right...if my knob had fallen in (and i couldn't hear it ratteling around) i would leave it alone...*smiles*...

I was ordering dinner at Sonic last night and realised that my elbow was resting comfortably where the lock knob used to be...to Lowes I go...:p

[spike22]

im just wondering how it would look simply cut down to flush...i would have to remove it though...and with your new info, that sounds a little bit more difficult than i thought....lol

I'm going to Lowe's this afternoon. I'll put the plug in and take a pix so you can see how it looks.;)

[spike22]

sweet! Can't wait to see it!

Ok Spike, Here are the before and after. I couldn't get the exact color so I had mix some Testors paint to get the color close. It took a 3/8 inch plastic hole plug for a perfect fit.:)

looks nice!...so how hard is it to take the door cover off?...i might try this but from the inside instead of just letting it fall...LOL

Ever here of Pandora's box? At least I'll always know where the knob is...:rolleyes::D
