I failed to mention that the gas door locking device seems to be working fine. I haven't checked the trunk lock yet.

Thank you very much

I find the hardest thing to do is to properly word a search to get the information I'm looking for. "Door panel removal" sounds about right!

Thanks

Thanks for the comments. Our dealer was completely uncooperative about this--frankly, I don't think they know one way or the other. I suppose that the circumference of a 17" wheel with a tire could...

So the answer is.....

I did take it to the dealer. The rain isn't the issue they say--the transmission has a leak, which got into the wiring harness and control module that is under the car. What are the odds that this...
