I'm trying to reassemble the doors on my restored 61 beetle. Can anybody tell me what order is the easiest to put them back together? I've put in the door handle and latch and the mechanism that opens it from the inside. Put the regulator and the inside and outside scrapers in. What comes next? The quarter glass, chrome upright, rubber, window? I don't want to risk damage if I install them in the wrong order and have to put it apart again! Please help!!

Dont you just hate it when you attack something blind and just get shitty and wreck things? After checking out this youtube video I realised how backwards I was assembling the doors on my sons 58' baja, yes there was swearing and scratching of the paint and it still looks ordinary. Let this be a lesson for everybody...... check aussieveedubbers first before trying something you haven't done, because someone will have allready been there done that.👍
