You can try to rip out the side of the door from the inside; that will let you see what's inside the door and maybe be able to see what was loose.
WTF? $4000? For a year old car? Yikes. That's like a 94 Accord.

LoL Ford living up to it's name! (fix or repair daily) [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Car's define your overall look.

Jetta Girlie cube car. Not too sexy, not very ugly. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]plain some might say

ergo; she won't get much attention while driving one of those. Never been attracted to a girl in a VW except for ones driving the beetle.

a jetta is a great car if u wanna get a new tranny after 6 months.....VW have a habbit of blowing trannys for no reason

well for one thing, the accord isn't in the same class as a civic, or jetta...

accord = mid-size car
civic, jetta = compacts

so if she's willing to fork the extra cash then i would recommend an accord but please don't get the [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]03 sedan...

other than that, i say get a civic because i have a biased opinion[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

you forgot to mention how their power windows and other misc. electricals tend to stop working around the same time.

I hate to ask a stupid question, but, why bother fixing it if your just going to give it back this weekend[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] okay, maybe I don't hate to ask the stupid questions. Whatever.
