After that, there is a brass brace that get's installed towards the top --above the latch to help keep the door latch closed. These two reinforcements are there because Blazers were never designed well as even with everything new--the body would flex whenever the top was off. No shortcuts bubba~~~GET-ER-DONE!!!hehehehe
Yup, forgot about that. Good thing I haven't tossed the old doors yet. Huck your a wealth of knowledge, keep it comin'.

Thanks for the compliments fellas, I knew someone would find this handy. It'll be even more helpful when I get to complete what Huck just talked about, lol.
