It took me 2 hours to install the battery door. I dropped one screw and could not find it any more it just vanished.

I was lucky to find one just like the one I lost after a half hour search.All in all I did a pretty good good job for an

auto mechanic .Thanks very much for your help, it was very easy to follow your instructions.
