Question Vent window installation question

Just received my new vent windows and was wondering if I install them in my bare doors (no windows/handles/locks or mechanisms), will that cause a problem when I install the other stuff? Said another way, is their preferred order of installation of all of the door parts? Thanks in advance.

Re: Vent window installation question

I usually have everthing in the door including the door glass (off the track) resting in the bottom of the door.
The completed vent window assembly I install last.
Then move side window back into its track.

I'm following this thread to learn if I have been doing it wrong all these years. Ha.

Remove window regulators and lock hangles
Remove vent windows
Remove main glass from doors
Remove regulators from doors
Unclip 2 rods from each door latch
Remove latch
Remove pull knob from lock rod

Remove chrome strip from inside of door
Remove Custom Camper emblems from doors
Remove cowl to cab seals
Remove door with hinges still attached to doors
Remove door strikers - count shims
