Need/WTB: 850 door rod, tracs switch

Post by cracker red »

Any chance someone can get something at the yard for me? Havn't had a 850/960 in the yard near me in 5 months...and it's one stupid part I need at the moment....

You know...that door rod that falls out of the locks because the bushings crack and you can't open it from the inside anymore. Yeah...I need that. I know it's somewhere inside the door, but after trying for 2 hours to locate it I've given up.

Would be happy to pay for the item and postage, just want to put the door panel back on my car and open the door from the inside!

Also need a tracs switch.... :)

Bumping up, someone take pity on me :). I wasted another hour today fishing around for the rod. It's in the bottom of the door (couldn't have gone anywhere else) but I suspect it's wedged under/behind some of the foam...and I can't seem to find it (pen LED light, mirror, etc). Been driving around for a month now, none of the local yards have any 850's :(

Have you tried removing the inside door paneling. Seems that would be the way to get it out, and fix it permanently. There are threads on how to take the paneling out.

Are you talking about the long rod? If so, it is curved and would be difficult to fish out. Could try a really strong magnet on a stick, but I'd open the door.

Which door, they're all different and how much do you want to pay for it?
I'll rephrase that, what WILL you pay?
It's a PIA to get this out but we probably have one
