Door Tech...
Post by bluesman2a on Oct 9, 2006, 3:08pm

OK, so I want to start reconditioning my doors and I need a little help here.

Some questions:

1) I have the external "wipes" for the outside seals, what are the INSIDE tabs called?

2) Can I use civvie/FSJ parts for this? If so what parts are common?

3) The "track/slots" on the windows, I THINK should have felt in them, where can I get replacements? The window/glass is loose and rattles badly.

4) Are there any other seals/felt/track/"consumable" parts I should consider replacing and if so where should I look for them?

Regards,
Herb

I have removed my doors about 6 times in the last few months. One tip I figured out is to put PVC pipe insulation on the front edge of the door so you don't scratch your fenders while worknig the hinges out of their slots once you unbolt them.

Some day I'm going to have to drive down and take a look at your truck Teking. From the pics you've posted it looks like you've done an excellent job of restoring it.
