Stripping the door is really easy, as the window, window regulator assembly all comes out together. If the door has a trim panel you will need to remove it. First roll the window all the way down, if there is no trim panel you can leave the door handle, and window handle in place. Then remove the door lock cylinder, by slipping a screwdriver under the clip located beside the door striker, and prying it back about 1/4 inch. Then remove the 3 striker mounting screws. This will leave you with a row of screws all the way around the outside edge of the regulator panel. Take them out and and carefully remove the window assembly. Before you reassemble the door loosen the 2 screws that attach the door striker to the panel about 1/2 turn. Start all screws before you tighten any, save the 2 striker to panel screws for last. If you are building up a door from scratch, it would be a good time to examine the lower mirror mounting bracket plate located inside the door. If the screw threads are good, mix up some JB Weld and smear some at both ends of the plate. When I had the brackets off my super liner for painting, that darn plate hit the bottom of the door when I removed the last screw. Have fun, James
I'm stumped on the door handle and window crank handle. I've never seen anything like them in the sense that they seem to have pins running through them but I can't get them out. Any help on that matter?
