no iam not, there bloody cr@p  :sad:

Cost me £20 for the guy to glue the window on the runner.

My boyfriend could of done it for me, but he was worried about taking the door card off, because we dont know where the side air bag sensors are, didnt wanna set one of those babies off lol.

Side impact airbags are in the seats aren't they??

I took my door panel off to fit my total closure module, I don't remember seeing any airbag looking parafenalia!

Not that I know of, I believe the car uses accelerometers inside the car to measure lateral acceleration to determine a side impact, rathar than sensors in the doors that say "We're being crushed, activate".

I think there would be pretty strict guidlines in terms of siting airbag sensors anywhere that someone would be able to fiddle/interfere with them, just in case accidental activation occured

Next time just get stuck in, you'll have no probs  :wink:
