rear windows
-window regulator replacement most likely.
sunroof
-in mine it was the overhead console; some early models the switch was replaceable, later models you have to replace the entire assembly
back up lights,
-sounds like a switch
passenger rear door locks but doesn't unlock
-replace the door lock actuators; they are vacuum/pressure operated. the plastic breaks and the two halfs separate when pressure is applied to unlock the door.

rear headrest don't come up
-you can't raise them with your hands? Or they won't stay up? Different things.
the center vents blow little air when acceleranting that's the one I need to fix
-usually a broken vacuum line. look for the hard plastic line around the duo-valve next to the hood hinge on the passenger side. follow the line all the way back to the engine. usually breaks by the duo-valve at the splice joint. just cut that out and repair with a piece of vacuum tubing.
Search, search, search. Lots of DIYs out there on all of the above. Read Stickies 1 through 5 here:

Also purchase industrial adhesive and some "C" clamps. The door panel is going to come apart (literally!) when you take it off the door.
Also order about 20-30 "fastener clip - inner door panel" for 75 cents each. The old ones will break when you take off the door panel.
