[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1426565, member: 15940"] So the next thing I wanted to tackle was the doors and windows. That took a LONG time to get everything done. I started with getting the new handles put together and installed. I polished the lock cylinders since I was re using them and they are in perfect shape. I had to rework the lock rods though because they were not removed when don put the guts in the doors and they kinda got bent up--no biggie though and made them perfect. The doors open and close like they never have that I can remember. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad380.jpg[/IMG] After that I went to the windows. With the rear wing window you have to start with the forward window and go to the wing since one affects the other. It wasn't that bad but I had to remove the wing windows again so I had to start fresh with the adjustments. The hardest part was getting the wing window to not catch the upper edge of the main window as it opened. But I got good fitment but only time will tell once I water test everything. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad381.jpg[/IMG] This is why I had to remove the wind windows. The plate that the window slides on--of course totally covers the holes. But I got them both on---lookin good I think. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad382.jpg[/IMG] One thing I did get thrown a curve ball on. I went to throw the window felts for the front windows and damn---with the clips on the felts you cannot put them in with the glass there. So I found if you remove the bump for when the window is fully down the glass will drop just low enough to get them in. The hard part was removing the bump(wedge type retainer) without damaging it.
