1967 MkIII Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This weekend I'll be putting the doors back together after a respray. As I dismantled them a year ago, is there any particular order to fit the parts in?I was thinking- channels- door latch mechanism- window winder mechanismObviously I want to avoid putting something in place, bleeding knuckles etc only to have to remove it to fit in something else!Feels great to be finally bolting bits together again after a year with the car in bits!ThanksSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Maybe the outside door lock /handle first, so you have as much room you can get :)Then the window channels & the winder mechanism.Inside door handle.Then the glass , then the outside rubber strip and the inner bit (those are a bit tricky ! :-/ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967 MkIII Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks all for your help, hoping no respray will be needed :)Just realised I don't have the "sound deadening pads"that stick to inside of the door skin. Do these actually do anything? and if yes what material could I use instead?ThanksSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they do much, maybe reducing the outside/wind noise a bit ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 As Wim says they help with the noise when you shut the door! And some road noises.Imagine flicking the edge of a bell, it will ding!Then hold the side, and do it again, it will just click as you flick it, but no ding! That's what the pads do.
