Re: Door & Glass fitment

doors/glass are identical. no foreseen problems other than aligning the door properly...

Re: Door & Glass fitment

take the fenders off, it makes it easier to get to the bolts. close the door and the start putting the bolts in. easier to do this with the doors closed than having someone hold them up. get some bolts snugged and then open and close the door to make sure it opens and closes good, and also check the door gap to the rear quarter. then put the front back together, keeping the fender gaps equal to the rear gaps, and making sure it still opens and closes freely. I'm not sure if other guys do it with the fenders still on but i think that it is easier to do with the front off. more work but not hard to do
