I just bought my wagon new window guides for all 4 windows, as well as new piping above the doors - front to back. I spent 1 day doing each door. The new window guides are all about 1/2 inch too long, so a little cutting and grinding was needed. The windows no longer rattle!

The door and hood lids are easy to alighn, just loosen the bolts a little and push. I did my hood in 5 minutes. Door latches are just as easy, just a phillips screwdriver.

The drive shaft (prop shaft) is iasy to take off. But, before you do, MARK THE JOINING PIECES so it goes back exactly as it was taken off. Mine became out of balance because it wasn't marked correctly.

Your differential leak is probably the pinion seal, facing the prop shaft. That needs to be replaced on my car also, but I think I am going to farm that job out. 220 lbs of torque?
