I have a kodak colorburst 250 (EK160-EF) and something is wrong with the battery lid. It keeps sliding out with any movement. How do I fix this? Will the camera still work without the battery lid?

SOURCE: electric sliding door

pull the radio fuse under the hood in the relay/fuse center. this will clear the memory for the door. the fuse needs to be removed for 20 seconds

SOURCE: outside sliding door handle?

Yes. It is a difficult job, but not impossible. The hardest part is actually removing the interior door handle. Here are the steps.

1. remove the interior door handle by pressing the door panel in and prying out the C-ring retainer clip
2. remove the lock slide switch bezel with 1 screw, then insert a blade on the bottom left of the slider between the slider and bezel, and release the clip, the slide the bezel toward the rear of the vehicle and pull out
3. carefully unclip the door panel around the lower edge and sides and lift the door panel UP and off
4. remove the interior lock slide switch with 2 screws
5. pull back the plastic vapor shield part way to expose the mechanism
6. there is a cable that runs from the mechanism to the exterior handle, unclip it from the door frame
7. there is a rod that drops down from the door handle to the mechanism, release the rod from the plastic clip
8. locate a large (likely black phillips) screw next to the door handle on the EDGE of the door, remove it
9. locate a 10mm screw on the inside behind the door handle, remove it
10. locate the final 10mm screw behind the handle through an access hole, remove it (careful not to let it fall inside the door)
11. the door handle will push out through the door part way- there is another C-clip securing the lock cylinder that will need to be removed, and the lock cylinder can be pushed into the door cavity
12. pull the door handle through the outside of the door skin- the door handle assembly is still attached inside the door by the latch cable- the cable can be easily removed from the handle assembly to remove it completely
13. you will likely find that the end of the door handle itself is broken off- don’t buy a new handle! Email me and I will show you my free and possibly better solution that will likely last the life of the vehicle dbonnell1972 at yahoo dot com

SOURCE: The sliding door handles of my 1998 Toyota Sienna have both broken.

I replaced both of my sliding door handles this weekend. It was actually pretty easy. Cheapest I could find the handles was a little over $70 each. The interior panel is held on with one screw and 10 nylon clips. The one screw is in the cup holder. Put you hand in the cup holder and push out at the bottom. It pops right off exposing the one screw. I started on the clips from the top at a corner. Seemed to be the easiest place to slide a screw driver under. Once I got the screw driver in, I started working my fingers under the panel. The clips run mostly along the top and bottom about 6 inches from the edge. I made an effort to apply the force as close to the clips as I could to reduce flexing the panel. Once I got the first clip to pop out the other followed pretty easy and the panel lifted right off. Carefully peel back the plastic barrier. The exterior handle is held on with two 10mm bolts. Connecting the short cable was pretty obvious once you could see everything. Now I have to teach everyone to open the side doors very gently! Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Rearview mirror fell off windshield! Not broken...

the mirror should simply slide over the metal mount (button) that is glued to the window.

loosen the set screw on the mirror mount...

hold the rear view mirror mount on the glass just above the metal mount (wide end of plastic opening facing down)

slide it into place...
secure it by tightening down set screw you loosened earlier.
