Advice - Window guide rail

Post

Back to the top
I am building my front doors back up, and cannot find a way of manouvuring the window guide rail into the door without scratching the rail or door, or forcing the inner and outer skins apart. It is so long ago that I removed them, I cant recall the way to refit them.
Any advice on refitting would be much appreciated, thanks.

Haha I scratched mine also. However if you are more patient than me then this is how you do it.

Protect with masking tape
Turn it through 90 degrees
Slide in with a little forcing of the 2 skins
Twist back through 90 degs
Get the tape off
Do the bottom pop rivet
Top screw
Centre pop rivet
Don't forget to washers on the pop rivets

Or do what I did and mask after fitting and touch up the satin

Good luck.

Thanks for the tips Backinblack. I'll give it a go, plenty of masking tape, lol
