it wobbles in the socket it i where to turn the key it would turn the entire cylinder

Oh, bummer. I guess I'd go with Quiksttel or PC7 epoxy then.

just so you know cost difference you should price a door at the wreckers and see if you can find one the same color.

Doors can be bought around here for $100 and I have seen them on craigslist for as cheap as $50 with the glass. If you have to replace the lock set, I purchased a set from camarocentral for around $40 shipped. Put them in last weekend and they worked great.

You know, screw the factory lock, why be like everybody else? You already have one hole, just drill another one and be "different":

The best thing about that is if you are in a really bad area, just loop a bigger chain and lock through the holes. Instant increased security!

yea but for $10 i can get quicksteel and also i have aftermarket actuators and power windows so it would be a ***** to reinstall all that. By the way the aftermarket power windows work so much better than all the stock power windows ive seen in maros. It cost $60 for the full set both windows i highly recommend it.
