Dealing with the dealership when you have a motor swap is kind of weird. Not sure if I trust them anymore with this kind of stuff.

Don't worry too much about the rivet gun. I can probably get those from Home Depot or Harbor Freight for a few dollars. I just need helpful hints to get me going.

This problem with the door lock is common on the W203, ain't it? None of our Japanese cars have this stupid problem.
Can anyone tell me where the door lock actuator comes out of?
Is it through the speaker hole?
I have the guide rail disconnected, but can get it out...

For the sedan, it's through the speaker hole. For the coupe, it requires drilling out the airbag to release the window rail.

I can't remember exactly what it involved the window has to change positions to access everything. Halfway up, disconnect something, then 2/3 up (or was it down?) and unhook the cable that keeps the window up. Only then is there enough room to pull out the door module. The module comes out where the rail normally sits.

If you figure this out, please post more information for the rest of us. Thanks.
