A lot of the hardcore enthusiasts tend to check all stickers on every panel when buying a used car which can hurt your resale value if any of the panels have been replaced.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

18 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

With all the "Where do you stash you ****?" threads going around I figured I'll ask a non 996 technical question. My DD commuter [shall be unnamed here for fear of shame] was smashed in an accident last year and the rear quarter panel and right rear door were changed. I just realized that the master window control switch by the driver won't operate that window. But the switch on that door does operate it. Also, when I lock all passenger windows the one on that door is working. Even when the car is off, that window works. I'm going to open up the door panel and check the wiring but what should I look for?

POST 2Original post

Obviously it has suffered an IMSB failure. Did the body shop refill the window regulator with Mobil 1?

That was my initial thought but someone told me unicorn semen works better.

POST 4Original post

I'm assuming someone else fixed this from the accident? Why not take it back to them. Also if it is what I'm thinking, then you should also see if you can still get any diminished value claim if it's not too late. A lot of the hardcore enthusiasts tend to check all stickers on every panel when buying a used car which can hurt your resale value if any of the panels have been replaced.

Well, if my DD 50+ MPG [still shall remain unnamed] car has any enthusiasts, they're either a bunch of dorks, animal rights activists, or Dorothys. I doubt they'll care about door VIN stickers; plus they're ubiquitously available. I'm dreading taking it back to the shop. I'll open the door pannel and check the connections with a tester. If I can't figure it out, then I'll take it back. In the mean time, if I get a plan of action before going into battle, it would be great.

Ok, sounds like a Prius then, LOL. I thought you had a BMW for some reason as a DD.

I used to commute 130 miles a day. It was the most sensible option. Now I'm stuck with it, for a while anyway.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

DTM! Dammit! I should have known you'll f things up somehow!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 12481744

BTW, recently, I drove a new 335i and I was so disappointed. I mean nothing will match the sluggishness of the Prius but the 335i had no pull compared to my 13 year old 911. She had nothing on her, nothing!

POST 13Original post

Heck, if it were me, I'd take it back to the guy who sold it to you and demand that he buy it back.

POST 14Original post

I wanted to say it, but I couldn't, thanks !Haaaah!

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 12482016

Ya. I am beginning to notice a trend. Next thing you know DTM will be taking back his WD-40 to get a refund.

I think by owning a Prius you put yourself outside the circle of trust So not only do you not like it when we try to help each other out on important questions, now we find out your a damn hippy too!
