coupenut: Door Improvements

The windows on the car are slow going up and down. I knew I was going to open the door panels and service the sliders, so might as well knock out a few other improvements at the same time. As previously noted, this car came with black plastic interior door pulls. The chrome now only have a nicer look, but they are heavier and more fitting of the coupe's nature. I removed and replaced all 4 of the window sliders, as well as cleaned out all of the old grease and replaced everything with Superlube. I also replaced the stock midrange speaker with a JL tweeter, part of the C5 component system that is partly installed now. The JL tweeter perfectly replaced (and I mean PERFECTLY fit, the HK midrange. The JL woofers I put into the kick panels did not fit perfectly, I had to cut away some material on the aluminum baskets/frames to match the factory bolt pattern. This was disappointing, as the woofers from the Alpine 5-1/4 component system I used in the rear fit exactly right. The butyl tape on the insulation had hardened, so I replaced all of it with new and also repaired any punctures and tears in the foam insulation with metalized thermal tape.
