I've done this a couple of times before but anyhow it was challenging to recall the correct order of disassembling the doors so this time I decided to to document the process for future. The main order in the disassemble is to
work from front to rear so that the vent window comes out first and the locking system comes out last. So here is how I did it.
1. |
Remove the window crank, door latch crank and the door handle |
2. |
Peel the door upholstery panel out
and remove the cardboard behind it |
3. |
Unscrew the window crank limiters. |
|
The upper of them is the up limit and the lower is supposed to
limit the low position |
4. |
Remove the C-clip and the roller from the scissor channel in the and unbolt the 2 nuts |
5. |
Loosen the 4 bolts from the window crank mechanism
and the 3 bolts |
|
which hold the scissor entity to the inner door panel |
6. |
Lift the window upward so that you
can |
7. |
Remove the 2 c-clips and rollers
which hold the scissor to the channel in window |
|
The scissor system can now be pulled off the window frame |
8. |
While holding the window up , use
your other hand to remove |
|
the 7 bolts that hold the scissor and crank mechanism. |
|
Now the mechanism is loose and may be dropped to the bottom |
|
of the door and pulled out.
If it does not drop at this point see phase 12 and return here and continue |
9. |
Loosen and remove the two bolts from
the vent window |
10. |
Loosen and remove the two nuts which
secure the adjustable |
|
screws of the vent window |
11. |
If possible screw in the adjustable screws of the vent window. |
|
They cannot be removed until the vent window is lifted upwards
a couple of inches |
|
(my lower adjustable screws was so tight with rust that it
could not be removed even then) |
12. |
If not possible in phase 8 you can
now lift and move the vent window so that the |
|
window mechanism drops to the bottom and can be removed. |
13. |
Remove the bolt and window up
limiter from the front of the bottom frame of the window |
14. |
Lower the window to the bottom of
the door |
15. |
I will replace my furry belt line
weatherstrip so I removed them at this point. |
16. |
The vent window can now be lifted
about 2 inches so that |
|
you can remove the adjusting bolts out of the openings in the
window. |
|
Once done lift the vent window out of the door. |
17. |
Move the window forward and start
working at the rear of the door |
|
Remove the 4 screws that hold the gasket on the upper
opening |
|
Remove the 2
cups covering the openings |
|
Remove the 2 bolts and 1 nut holding the rear window run |
|
Remove the short bolt holding the window rear limiter but do not remove the
hex head screw |
18. |
By moving the window forward and up
inside the door you can now remove the rear run |
19. |
Lift the window up and move it
rearward and slide it out |
I was
unable to remove the vent window adjusting screw so I did not manage to pull it
out. Therefore I did have to define an application to the above instructions so
that I did not remove the vent window but lifted it up as much as possible and
hung it so that it remained out of the way until the rear run was removed.
Once both doors were done, they we sent to soda/sand blasting. The passenger side door may have chances to be recovered but the driver door will need some patching and a new door skin panel.
