Seized Locks, Remote Power Locks The Answer?
Hey guys,
So a couple of days have passed with my '85 GS and apart from a few small issues, she runs perfect. Very happy!
However, one problem is the locks, both the passenger and drivers side are seized. I tried all the tricks to free them up, but apart from once or twice being about to lock the passenger door (not open) there toast. Replacement locks looks like an expensive option so I had an idea of buying a cheap remote power lock kit.
Question is, any guys on the forum with a gen 1 installed one of these kits? I am trying to figure out the best way to mount the actuator and if anyone has any thoughts/tips about this.
Thanks in advance....
Rick

One of my rules that I always try not to break is; "don't ever try to accommodate a problem, rather than fixing the problem".
I would look in the for sale section (or post a want to buy thread) looking for door locks with a key.
Good luck either way...
