Door Window Install Steps

When I bought my 55, the doors were gutted so just shells, so I did not have the opportunity to disassemble the guts to know how they go together so I'm visually prepping myself for the day I get the doors installed (hopefully very soon) concerning the proper order to install the internal door guts for the handles / windows. Here's my game plan, let me know if this sounds right or if I need to reorder something in the steps I've outlined below.

Keep in mind I am using the Altman Door latch so I already installed the Altman Latch & Lock in the door. I've also already installed the stock mirror arm base which is why I'm not mentioning those in my list.

Install Order:
1) External Door handle
2) Door latch control w/ arm
3) Vent window
4) Division bar
5) Glass run retainer
6) Glass run assembly (w/ clips)
7) Anti rattle strips
8) Door regulator
9) Door glass installed into window lift channel with channel rubber / butyl tape
10) Door glass assembly in door (through the inspection hole) onto regulator
11) Door latch handle
12) Window crank handle
13) Adjust as necessary

Did I miss any parts? Does my order make sense or is there a better order?

Thanks in advance

Jim
