Guys You are just terrific.
The detailed information you have provided allowed my mechanic to repeat what you have done to fix RX300 Door actuators on both front doors.
I bought 2 actuators for $5 shipped and it works terrificly well.(unike link from this forum)
If somebody is not mechanically inclined and wants a mechanic trained by this list in LA area let me know
Thanks again for your time and efforts to make this terrifically cost effective repair possible.
