I've owned "Noj" (new old jeep) since Thanksgiving. We're just getting to know each other. One thing I noticed, the door panel on the front right had a corner held by a sheet-metal screw. I removed it and the door card popped loose on the edge. Who ever replaced the factory speakers in the door, did an amazing job: They ripped the door liner down, destroying it. Screwed the Rockford Fosgate speaker down. Crumpled the remains of the door liner into a ball, then forced the door card edges against the door, damaging the plastic fasteners in the process. Since it wouldn't stay, they drilled a hole and screwed the panel down with a sheet metal screw in the corner, leaving the rest loose.
I've only looked at one door so far, but it was so screwed up, I'm sure the rest are also bad. Makes me wonder about the after market stereo install. How badly did they hack into the factory harness. I'll find out this weekend. I plan to carefully go through the sound system. I wondered why the system sounded so dull, even though it has an expensive looking Sony head unit. It also bugs me the steering wheel controls no longer work. Who would ever think this is the way to improve their car. I do not understand.
I ordered Dynamat door liner material to replace the torn door liners. It arrived yesterday. I sourced two of the needed plastic door-panel fasteners at the dealer for $5 each! Ouch! Oreally's auto parts have some for $2.75 each, but they weren't a good fit, so I returned them. I could use advice--does anyone know where I can get those plastic door panel fasteners at a decent price? I'm sure I'll need a bunch of them, when I check all four doors.
Thanks!
