i have a few repairs that i need.

1. on the driver's side door the wind does not always roll all the way down. it seems to be an electrical problem

2. same as above on the sun roof.

is this a DIY fix or is it somthing that needs fixed professionally

i think thats all for now

on the door, you can do two things:, 1-get a used switch to see if that works. if yes, get a new switch 2- take door panel off and see if there is something that came loose on the mechanism that lowers the window. and for second question, 1- does the sunroof open at all, or only tilts? if so, then you will need to remove the sunroof and see if there is anything in the tracks. if there isn't then the motor might need to be replaced. also, while the sunroof is off, clean the tracks, that helps sometimes. if possible, get the haynes manual and do a search on the 850 forum, this topic has been covered before.

Nothing beats opening up the door panels, and hide your 'stuff' there.
