Re: '72 GMC long/fleet in Ottawa area

Doors are complete (windows) and sport mirrors mounted.
Did the mirrors first, much easier than trying to get that anchor plate on the inside and lining up the screws into it with all of the windows and guts in there.
Image below that I found in a few different threads here that explains the locations and dimensions for the sport mirrors .... dead on so just follow that.

Then on to completing the door hardware ... latch regulator and handles, etc. were already done so it was the glass related stuff left to do.
Found a YouTube video from Tremayne's that explains the order of operations, perfect and easy to follow can't miss with this.

Sequence of assembly operations:
1) Latch regulator, handles, locks, etc.
2) Window regulator - roller into track inside door shell
3) Door glass - get both rollers into track and slide to rear of door
4) Vent window
5) Rubber window seal - top and rear edge
6) Rear lower window guide / rubber seal retainer
7) Inner and outer scraper seal / felt seal
8) Compression screw under vent window holding inner/outer door shell sections rigid - mine is a '72 and only applies to '71-'72 I believe

Snow is almost gone here so will probably get the park brake assy and cable done before moving back to body/paint ... and put the seat back in for the last time ... I hope!
