Did you buy a PW kit yet? If not search the forum. There is some good info posted not too long ago. Be prepared to fab some brackets for most of the kits.

Good luck..

Installing Windows

I guess my question is more what order of assembly I should do so that everything is done inside the door. Right now I am thinking this order.
Rustproof inside
Insulate
Put tracks in (not attached)
Door handle assembly
Lock assembly
Power Window Kit (up position)
Window glass
Place tracks
Place window glass

Am I missing anything? I only want to do it once! :O)
