I just had to tow the 80 to the shop. While on a Sunday drive with the wife and MIL, the engine started to overheat, smoke started to waft out from under the hood, and apparently I had left a 20-yard trail of some liquid/leak in a cul-de-sac. I turned it off.
My wife noticed the engine coolant...
I didn't have any significant tears in mine. I did have lots of cracks throughout them, so, it was mostly an aesthetic improvement.
I can't say I've noticed a significant change in noise reduction.
Just wanted to follow-up here. It only took an hour or so -- super easy. The only other note I should leave for anyone else doing this, is to prepare something to hold your door in place to keep it from swinging wide with the check pins gone. You might need some pliers to remove stubborn plastic...
Nevermind. I finally found the part name so I found more info on these guys -- door check pins.
part number 68617-20011 for anyone else looking for these.
Gotcha. I do have a bunch of the trim removal tools.
As for the hammer and punch on the pin, does it go back the same way -- just hammer the sucker back in? Wondering if I need to have any extra pins in case I mess it up.

This should save me about $150 in labor.
Thank you!

Assuming I have to take all the doors off, is this going to be a pain...
Thanks guys, could be a combo of carpet and misalignment. I'll take another stab at the gear, double-check alignment, and use the new bolts this weekend. I'll reply here to update. Hope I haven't eff-ed up the bolt holes.
I recently bought 2 caps and 2 gears from gamiviti to fix the back/forward operation of my power seats. I successfully got the passenger seat operating again, but snapped the gear for the driver seat while pressing it onto the shaft. I reassembled the seat for now until a new gear arrives. When...
