a few questions on my 02 Sport

[gtommec]

Hi guys I am pretty new here (just did a post in the introductions) I have tried doing searches but apparently am not using the proper Keywords I have a few issues with my o2 Sport.

First the rear latch for the glass doesnt work everytime I open it after the glass opens the latch goes back to the closed position so I have to manually open it to close the glass. It has been to the dealer twice for this and they have charged me to "Adjust striker" but that only lasts for about 2 days and thin it starts over again, is this a common thing and is there an easy fix?

Second for the past 2 yrears when it rains the pass floorboard gets wet and recently both sides are getting wet, After 7 trips to the dealer under warrenty "they cant duplicate problem" now that the warrenty is up I am sure they would be able to figure it out sad2.gif. I am thinking that it is just the windshield seal and am thinking about getting a glass company to try and re-seal it .....any other ideas?


and last as I have said I am a Suzuki guy and with suzukis if you have a 2wd all you need is the 4wd components and they bolt in to tranfer it to 4wd, is it that easy with the Liberty? I did notice when I replased the steering rack yesterday that the front hubs are splined so i was wondering how hard would it be to convert it to 4ed.


Thanks in advance for any help

As far as coverting to 4wd,it'll be cheaper to trade in for a 4wd(rough guess on all used part,about $2000-$3000+),it can be done but the hassle isn't really worth it.

As far as the water leak it's most likely the passenger side rubber door seal,the crack(2 ends) may be in the wrong area or it's worn.

No,you'd need a '02 parts KJ,the ****** is different in a '05,thus the parts you need are not the right length.Also the PCM needs to be reprogrammed so it knows it has 4wd so the airbags will be turned of in 4low,big safety feature.

Hope you never get in a accident,if you don't tell your insurance company about deleting the SRS system then they can deny your claims if you get in a accident(your fault or not) and doesn't have to pay anything and then you get stuck with all the bills(the other persons also if your at fault).You may even get sued(and they will win) if someone driving/riding and gets hurt/killed.

Actually because my wife is under 5ft tall - airbags are unsafe for her so we are legally able to have them disabled
