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
