Default Re: 1932 5-window coupe door guts sequence

Here's my cheat sheet for my Sedans...
The procedure should be the same, although the glass install maybe different as the sedan glass is much longer. There are also some extra steps as I have updated my car with power locks and mounted sideview mirrors.

Consider drilling additional drainage holes in bottom front and rear of door
Os-pho rust preventive sprayed inside of lower 6 inches
Truck bed liner vs Undercoat inner bottom edge
Install hinges on car (holes forward), leave hinge screws loose.
Install Dovetail and latch in door frame
Hang door on car (If top/back rubs- loosen 3/8 firewall bolt)
Mount Sideview mirror
Run power lock wires and place door stop (Must thread wires through rubber and washer!!!)
Install door latch and handle- (lock passenger side) 12-24 screws X3 plus 3 1/4x20 bolts for handle
Set glass into window (Can place Front channel in place prior to glass-don’t glue yet) Lower front of glass panel in first vertically, rotate horizontally
Raise glass to top, hold with suction cups or Vise C-clamp with 2 scrap 2x4s from top and Place rear metal window channel from below-attach with 12x24 screw in bottom
Place Rear felt Window Channel and glue(black RTV) in upper 2/3 (Metal tabs insert and align, then bend over) lower piece has a metal track to glue into once window and crank installed so window can be down while RTV dries- Metal track held in by 10-32 or 2-24 screw on lower 1/3 of door (metal track must be out to remove door latch)
Clamp window in up position while upper side RTV dries
Lubricate back of window regulator before install
Install Window regulator mechanism
Can lubricate window channel guides after regulator rollers in place
RTV Lower third of felt Window channel and screw into door edge and lower window (allow to dry with window down)
Install Power Door Lock, support bars, speakers and complete wiring
Attach Door Panel with seal attached, handles, lock knob, armrest
Install Garnish molding
