Looking good Lee.

With door, I have done it this way.

Place door on car

Door catch & handle

Check strap

Side window channel

Window regulator.

Place glass in bottom of door, ready

Outer scraper & mould

Bailey channel, with top hanging loose

Quarter glass & position main glass in tracks, but not bolted to winder regulator yet

Finish top of bailey channel

Inner scraper

Lift glass & bolt to regulator.

Wind all the way up. loosen top regulator bolts, and retighten. This will reset the glass in the tracks.

Worked for me and is similar on a lot of other cars.:thumb
