I cant see any simple workaround either, simpler to just replace whats broken (and will break soon enough) its aligned fairly well so I think it will get me through until I get a first paycheck (finally got the job I've been pining for). I hope its weather tight in it's temp position.

Im really frustrated with this car, it's been a money hole since I brought it home. I havnt had to do this much to make/keep a car roadworthy since I kissed GM goodbye. Im burried badly in this one, I'll do the sunroof correctly as I have to keep this car to get my moneys worth from it in use. I have 2 kids coming up to driving age. darn. -/ rant mode off

Any links or source to the most cost effective lift arm assemblies are certianly welcome. I plan to source the other felt pads and seals from Phil if he has them. I would really love to get out of this for < $300 if possible.

Thanks.
