Default Re: 1932 5-window coupe door guts sequence

The door latch and remote release go in first.
Then the metal strip with the felt liner next.
Typically the felt liners slide up into the slots and then drop into the hole on top'
The other end just slides across the door structure tab.
Don' forget the 2 little bumpers that go in the bottom of the garnish and the bottom edge of the door.
The wide felt with the glass is next. Felt goes in then the glass at an angle.
The wood fillers go in next.
Hold the glass up with tape. Watch that fresh paint!
Next is the regulator.
At this point I remove both tack strips by drilling out the rivets.
You can just take out 1 rivet and rotate the strips out of the way.
This allows the regulator to slide in and up and attach to the glass channel easily.
You may have to open or close the regulator arms to snap it into the glass.
Reattach the tack strips.
practice installing some of these parts to understand how they go on and work with each other.
Also make sure all the tapped holes are tapped and the screws work smoothly.
I have done quite a few cars over the years most recently my 5 window in October.
Patience will pay off on this job.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
