I started to remove the door latch this morning.I removed the inside handles,The door metal trim,and the door panel.I also removed the screws holding the latch.
I tried to push the latch back to see if it would come out but the glass channel is right behind the latch and will not let it come out.
I don't have enough room to take the latch out.So, for all of you who have done this before,do I have to remove the window glass so that I can move the glass channel out of the way to let the latch come out. Looks like its going to be a tough job but I have to do what I have to do to get the job done. Need some Advice on this.Thanks to all.
PS- I do have on order the 55 Ford car repair manual but it won't be here for another 2 weeks.
