Ahgg... I had a mishap and need some parts

**TurboDuane** · 11-21-2005, 08:13 PM

I was successfull at peeling my door forward all the way to the front wheel today.

So anyway I'm now looking for a door with electric windows and a bodyshop to repair my finder and re-paint the two.

I'll tell you guys all about it when it doesn't hurt so much. It's all my fault and right now I'm not sure I deserve to even have a drivers license.

I'll be calling Mazda Heaven tomorrow.

Driver's or passenger door?

I have a driver's door in red with a small dent in it that you can have... It has the mirror on it but no panel or regulator - you'll need to reuse yours. I do have a window for it but it's out of the door.

Drivers door. How big is the dent? I would definately need the window as mine is in a million pieces.

See the attached pics... Long scratch down the door and the small dent has been circled... 2nd pic shows a door ding... small, but I know that Miataphiles are perfectionists...

In addition to saving the door panel, window guts, and plastic liner, you will need to salvage one of the track guides off of the broken window. The Spec had a broken one on it's window so I pulled it off this spare one.

Channel, thanks, I've found one with an electric window in it. It also has tan leather interior (which I need). Hopefully it will match the other door.

Nope, even better. I definately qualify for the dumb

award on this one. However it's so

stupid I can't bare to tell off on myself. I'm so depressed I can't hardly think about anything else.

As a matter fact, it's so stupid I'd be willing to bet no one can figure out how I did it. Any other guess'.

Did it involve large amounts of cough syrup?

Failure to set the parking brake?

A car wash or gas station?

**channelmaniac** · 11-22-2005, 02:55 PM

Probably wiped out while street racing... Or even worse... Hit a bus while screaming through another school zone.

I can't believe it...We have a Winner!

I just filled up, and accidently popped the trunk, yet I forgot to re-latch it. Then I went into the robo-wash. While in there the trunk popped up. So I pulled forward and the Robo stopped. I then got out of the car and slammed the trunk shut, got back into the car. The robo started back up

and moved forward just as I reached for my door, but Robo got the door first. Once it had the door, it wouldn't stop.

It kept going, and going until it had my door sitting right beside the front tire.

I then went in and told the lady what the car wash did to the car and she said, "Its you fault, you not open door in car wash! I'll give you another car wash"

I bungee'd the door handles together and drove home from Colleyville with my door sticking a foot out the side of the car.

Didya get it on video? I'd love to see that!!!

Wow that must really hurt though. My condolences.

**tailchaser** · 11-22-2005, 06:37 PM

Dude! I told you to keep the Miata out of the Laser Warsh! My condolences. I watched the same thing happen to the car in front of me in line at one of those places and haven't been back to one since.

**altiain** · 11-23-2005, 08:55 AM

You openend the car door while you were in the car wash? Did I read that right?

Sorry to hear about the problem, Duane. At least you''ve got a funny story to tell. A really funny story.
