Yeah, it's definitely his fault. You can tell that he almost knows by
the way he and his buddies were laughing about it. It's like "hey, we
installed some new speakers yesterday!!!" but they aren't saying
anything about it.
I know that this can happen because I've taken the door panel off and
forgotten to hook the door handle linkage back up. Of course, the
first time I took the panel off I didn't pay close enough attention
(to the panel or the directions) and I busted the clip on the inside
door handle and had to buy an entirely new handle assembly for like
$35 in order to get the little 5 cent plastic clip.
The whole thing is just too far fetched for me.
