Bunch a problems
If anyone has any suggestions on these, it would be greatly appreciated. The last guy that had my car totally screwed it up.
The front right speaker does not work, I believe it needs to be re-grounded. Is there an easy way to re-run the ground wires?
The passenger window does not roll down on the passenger side because again something is wrong with the wires. I have taken the door panel off and looked and the wires look fine to be, so I don't know what is going on with that. I can roll it down from the driver's side.
Also, the windows take forever to roll down. It has to either be a wiring problem or a window motor problem.
The glovebox makes an annoying squeaking sound when I go over bumps.
The back seat pops up on the left side. I can try to glue it down, but I don't know if there is a way to order a clip for it or something.
It is also dented on the roof and pasanger door a bit. And I am sure that is gonna cost a lot to fix.
I really appreciate your help, guys! I know my car is a piece, but I am trying to make it better.

I dont think there is an easy way to re-run the speaker wire from the head unit without pulling off panels and such. Perhaps try using an ohmmeter and do a continuity check to see if the wires are good.
If the window wiring is wrong or the window regulator isnt working right, then it can make the window roll down slow. BTW the window regulator is the whole scissor assembly, not an electrical device as some would think. Sometimes you can remove the motor and then see if if the winow moves up and down freely. If it doesnt then you have to troubleshoot where its getting stuck at.

You don't have the pssenger window lock out button pushed by mistake, do you? Also some people suggest a little parrafin wax on the window edges to make them slide easier.

lol. I do have a window lock button, but it is not on. I have checked several times. If it was on, I wouldn't be able to roll it down from the driver's side either. I don't know how much the wax would help, because I have had the door panel totally off and it is still about half as fast as it should be.

Well, if you can roll it down from the drivers side, I'd take a close look at the passenger side switch itself.
The wax goes into the weatherstrip groove that the window runs up and down in. Teflon spray works as well. The door panel has nothing to do with it.

Oh, as to the button......
I once proceeded to remove my starter (different car) in the morning trying to figure out why it would not turn. 2 hours later I noticed that the night before, I left the car in "D" when I parked. Needless to say I felt like a total idiot. It happens... LOL

It's a 99 coupe, so I dunno if that will work. Like I said the last guy screwed up all the wires on the right door. I would like to find the guy and personally kick his a$$.

Ohhh...... Nope. Wrong manual. My guess is that you have a pinched or cut wire going through the door itself. Most likely a ground.
Sorry I can't help you beyond that.
