Now the results.
I am so pleased with Marshalls Auto Body. They did a great job, and it is guaranteed for life. They took care of all the details. They stripped the door of all trim and then painted the entire door panels; YES, I said panel(s) they painted the front and rear doors on the left side... It looks amazing in person. Grand total was over $1600, I paid $225 of that.
Rental was waiting when i dropped the car off, I just left it there for pick-up tonight.
I have been without it for 7 days all the while driving a go cart. It is such a good feeling to have it back....
TRY to find a door ding

OK. One last post and I will put this to rest.
About a year ago I lost heat in my drivers seat. I was bummed. I spent the past year wondering/thinking/researching prices and ways I could fix it.
Well....this morning I must have unknowingly pushed the heat button on the arm rest because my bum started heating up. "What the... That shouldn't work". This is awesome.
My guess is there was a loose connection in the door, and when they took it apart to paint it, they put it back in.....
Is it possible? Or when they put the door together and the seat didn't heat up, they thought they did something wrong, and fixed it.
Am I living right or what? Somebody is looking out for me.
I'm going to enjoy it while I can. Summer is coming.
Yessss :banana:
