Re: Door Skin Install

I have never done it myself, but I am pretty sure my son did it without removing the glass.

While he had the old door skin off he cleaned inside the door and sprayed some primer inside.

Re: Door Skin Install

I don't recommend it. I have done skin replacements and always take out the glass. One is to protect it. Any grinding or welding can leave marks in it. Mainly its on a customers truck or car and we don't want to replace any more than we have to. plus it makes the door that much heavier to work with the vent window and glass all in
