for replacements go to mazda, but jsut a word to the wize, neather of them are easy to change. you have to rip out alot of your interior to get to eather of them.

Ive been told the lines are fine, just the release handles are rusted out, still alot of work?

if its just the handles, get some wd40, pull back the carpeting and work at them, they should free up.

its the releae handles that rust together and don't move freely. You can free them up but probobly better to get new ones or even decent ones from a wreckers.
