yes, thanks- Im still working on it. There is no corrosion , I can see down inside to backside of latch assemblty w/ window rolled all the way down but it still will not let shaft slide out w/ screws removed. I will try some peneterating oil sprayed on mechanism to see if just stuck. If that doesnt work will wait for wk or 2 since car in parade this wk-end and company next. thanks for all replies/help. 31 5w
