Your Pontiac door is made up of several parts which include the door handle, door glass, door panel, door frame, window channel, door skin and door switch. The door handle is used to lift up the locking mechanism present in your car door so that you can get in or out of your car. The door glass or window glass is a car door part that can be raised or lowered. The door switch, on the other hand activates all the other spurs and gears installed on your car door assembly. The inner door panel is attached to the door frame. The door skin is attached outside the window channel and the door frame. And lastly, the window channel is where the door glass is mounted. There are also two types of car doors: the manual car doors and the electric or automated car doors. Automated car doors are electrically controlled with a motor that is hidden within the lower corner or rearward corner of your door. If you want to upgrade your car door, just go to your favorite car parts dealer and get some car door add-ons.
