Ever take something apart but cant put it back together?

[spottedog]

Months ago I was t-boned on my passenger side door, 23 inch by 8 inch dent, metal stretched, completely fubar.

 

Put add on verious Datsun websites, after several months, nothing.

 

This is a '80 Datsun 720 4WD that was straight before this.

 

I was bitching about this to a friend that told me they buy doors at the place he works, he said he could get me a good price for just the door, not including labor.

It turned out to be a "good junk yard door" for 500.00 PLUS shipping from Chigago!  I ran him off.

 

Another friend offered to lend me a box of auto body repair tools so I read a book and checked a lot of diy web sites and tore into it.

 

To my surprize I got the door to good from 10 feet away, good enough for me. (The slap hammer is great)

 

I took the window out when I started, but I cant get the window back in the door! It slid out easy as I remember, but I forgot how. Very long brain fart.

 

Somebody tell me how to hold the dam thing to get it back in? I am so damn close.

When I tinted the windows on my 620 I just swapped out a spare set, basically grab upper aft corner and slide in the easiest way, tilting the forward end up and into the track as you go. That's how I did mine (iirc)

Have you tried turning it off and then back on??

Lol, you have to slide it between the moldings on the upper edge of the door frame.  Goes in curved.  Tabs side enter the window, then just weasel it down into the cavity.  Make sure the edges of the window go into the middle of the channel moldings as you put it in.  You can get them in between the metal channel holder and the rubber window molding if you're not careful.

If you read this right, it kinda sounds like a smut mag. " Slide it between the fuzzy......going in curved".

Take the other door apart, to see what it looks like.

 

Of course, if you have a really bad day, you may end up with 2 windows that don't work...........
