power sliding door speed

If you are trying to get the power doors to open and close as easily as the manual doors on the LX, its not going to happen unless you do some serious disconnecting, which would pretty much make it a manual door full time. I don't think there is anyway of changing the speed at which they operate, and if there was, it would probably be for opening only. I remember watching the doors on a Ford Windstar open like a plane taking off on a runway, but they had a slow closing speed as well for safety. As for keeping the elements out, I would suggest only letting the door open part way, so that when it closes, it doesn't have far to go. If you really think about it, most kids could probably fit through a 12-15 inch opening or so.
