Re: '74 C10 door assembly order?

The order I ended up using.

1) Latch with both interior/exterior handle and locks.
- On the bench, Attach the lock rod and interior door rod to the latch, also attach the interior door handle to the interior door rod
- On the bench, Slide but do not clip the exterior door rod clip in place on the latch.
- Mount Latch to door, Make sure to get the lock rod thru the hole in the door before screwing the latch in place.
- Insert exterior door handle rod into latch and slide clip into lock position.
- The interior door handle was not bolted in place until I finished working on the door. This gave me a little more room to work in the door.

2) Regulator and Side glass
- Glass into sash tracks from the outside the door
- I started with front wheel into track and rear into slot on the track
- Roll window down centering as you do and push it back to latch when all the way down.

3) Vent Window
- I tried to put this in first but it leaves no (or very little) room to slide the side glass in so I tried it this way. Seems alot easier and there is plenty of room to get the vent window in as long as the rear channel is out and the glass is slid back.
- I put Silicone on the rubbers they are new and helped slide them forward and up into place.

4) Rear Track and door glass run.
- Most of the Door glass run goes in easy starting from the top.
- I siliconed the bottom of the glass run rubber and was able to slide it down the track between the glass (window rolled down). Probably other ways but this took me 1 minute so...

5) Wipers/sweeps whatever you call em..

6) Mirrors

Done.
