David,
Can you tell me how to remove the door skins from my 96 Saturn Coupe?
Thanks,
Marc

I remember well when I bought my (new) 95 SL1. It was a nightmare. I
know everyone says they are treated well, but I guess they figured,
"This guy's a schmuck, we can ignore the bastard."
Indeed, my dad accompanied me, and he described the experience as
"pretty shabby."
Anyway, at one point, the sales guy says, "Here's your key!" One
stinking key! Aren't there two? I asked. "One opens everything!"
A 5 page letter to Saturn Corp detailing the nightmare got me the other
key.
[I would have returned the car, but I was starting an intense college
schedule in a few days, and I wanted a new car, and didn't not want to
restart the buying process."]

That's funny, both my '92 and '96 came with 2 keys. When they handed
me the keys, I asked if I could get 2 more. They walked me over to the
service department and let me watch while they punched out 2 more keys
for free (both times)
