First of all, what's up?
I'm Low Emissions. I drive a '98 Dodge Avenger. Four cylinder. Minor fix-me-ups needed. No mods on vehicle unless you count the Pioneer deck I've put in the dash.
So I figured if I'm going to be doing some things to my car, what better place than here to get advice and whatnot?
Or am I wrong?

Alright, so here's some of my current issues.
#1) Broken door handle.
--I hear it's a common problem on Avengers, and it gets really cold here in South Dakota (which is the reason it broke in the first place) so I wouldn't doubt if it happens again. Is there any way to reinforce the handles so they stay on better?
#2) Spoiler light fell out.
--That's right. I shut the trunk the other day and the light along with about six inches of the wiring fell off and onto my bumper. Going to have to get that fixed...
#3) Randomized dome lights.
--They only turn on when they feel like. Lately that's been most of the time, but it would be really nice if it was all the time.
#4) Leaky window seals.
--Not in a normal car wash or in the rain, but if I go through the auto-wash I get splattered pretty badly. Will I need all new ones?
#5) Cupholder MIA.
--At least I think it is. I've seen pictures of Avengers where there's a little cover over the cupholder, and my cupholder has these little tracks in it that tell me something should be there and just isn't. Can somebody point me to where I can get a replacement for this?
#6) This one is tough to describe...
--The support bars from the dashboard to the roof are loose. Not the bars themselves, of course, but the little plastic jobs that cover up the wires and stuff are loose. It's really barely noticeable unless you're looking for errors in the vehicle, but it bothers the piss out of me and I think the one on the driver side is getting worse. I've tried to just push them back into place and they don't stay. How can I fix that so they stay where they're supposed to?
And that's pretty much it for now. The A/C doesn't work and the vents are squeeky sometimes among other little problems, but oh well.
So any advice would be appreciated, and don't forget to welcome me to the boards.
