First off I want to explain some of the photos. Pictures from my website have been showing up on other websites (9xauto), and I don't mind sharing info just not having what I've done show up on other commercial websites. I'm putting together an instructions for those that need it that by from my website, so it will be available on the site too.

Tool list -
#2 Phillips screwdriver
10mm socket
13mm socket
6" extender for ratchet
ratchet wrench 3/8?

13mm box wrench
#4 standard screwdriver
Wooden block and hammer

Optional items to look at "while you are there"

The Outer door fuzzy is difficult to access, you will be able to swap these out during this process.

I do make the aluminum strips for early and late doors as well as the rollers for both


Door handle isolators - If you need to swap out the seals on the door handles, this process will allow you to have more access. The door cam can be changed out at the same time. Locks can be rekeyed if needed and the door lock bushings replaced.

Window rollers, both the early and late have rollers that are replaceable.

The late doors have fuzzy strips that run vertical in the front and rear window guides, this is a good time to replace these too. The early door has rollers in the front track, the rear track has a plastic guide that runs up and down in the back track.

The door stay is easily reached with the door panel removed. You can replace the rollers, springs, and the strap easily. The unit has a pin that holds it to the body, and 2 -10mm bolts hold the unit in.

The fuzzy on the inside of the window can be replaced easily with the door panel off.

Lastly the door end caps can be replaced at this time also.





First off remove the door pockets, and plastic door handle cups. This will allow the door panel to be removed.

The door panel will remove easily by popping the door panel clips out of the door on the front rear and bottom. You can use a flat screwdriver and carefully pop them out one at a time. If you door panel is deteriorated you may want to use a clip removal tool, or a larger flat object. The panels will remove up as there are 3 clips on the top that hold the top of the panel in.

It's time to remove the window.
The 13mm socket with an extender will be what you need here.

Remove the rear armature for the window scissor mechanism. Note that this is also used for adjustment.

[Mikey914]

I found it easier to take the window mechanism loose. I did not remove it, but it allowed me to shift it around.

[Mikey914]

I then removed the rear track by taking the 2 screws out at the back rear part of the door.

[Mikey914]

The rear door end cap will need to be removed. This also allows the rear track to be removed.

Shown below is the rear window track with the fuzzy installed.

The window will remove by rotating the front down and pulling it out rear 1st.

You will find it helpful to remove the cap from the top of the window, the #2 Phillips will help.

[Mikey914]

To remove the vertical bar you will need to remove the aluminum track that houses the outer door fuzzy. There are 3 screws with access holes to reach them. I provide stainless screws to replace these with my outer fuzzy set. They are a #6. You may need to drill out the old ones if they are rusted in. Go slowly you may be able to get all out without incident.

To remove the vertical bar you need to use a 10mm socket to take the bolt out from the center of the assembly. It is recessed in.

You will also need to use the 13mm box wrench to remove the nut on the bottom of the door. After the nut is removed screw the slotted bolt into the assembly. You will need to do this to get it out of the hole it's in. As soon as you get it out remove the screw completely to allow the entire assembly to come out.

Get the new seal ready I use soapy water to slide the new seal into the track.

Shrink wrap it to hold in place. Be careful to only use where you will not have issues installing.

[Mikey914]

Install the base 1st. As soon as the bar is in, put the screw back in the base, just screw it all the way in to get adequate clearance.

[Mikey914]

You will need to put the center bolt back in. Push it forward, and push the seal into place. I used a wood block to tap the seal into place.
The factory manual says you can glue the seal to the outer door seal, but mine popped into place after I played with it.

[Mikey914]

Re install the aluminum track with the outer fuzzy. It you are replacing the fuzzey you can drill through the holes in the track with 3/32" drill to allow the screws to go through and hold the track and fuzzy.

[Mikey914]

You can then install the glass the rear track is still out and the window mechanism is down so the window will be down when installed.

[Mikey914]

You will need to re install the 13mm bolt into the base of the window mechanism. This is the one you removed earlier.
Also reattach the mechanism to the door. You will have to move it around to make it fit.

[Mikey914]

Roll the window up so that you can get he rear track back in. You will be able to get the base in, and you will have to get the top edge in by pulling the glass forward and up. Attach the base screws loosely so you can easily adjust. I chose to replace the fuzzy.

[Mikey914]

After this has been put in place you roll down the window, pull back the back of the seal and install the end cap between the track and the back of the door.

[Mikey914]

You can install the outer scraper, cut to fit. You will also need to adjust the top of the window using the base screw, and the slots for variation in the door screw areas.

[Mikey914]

You can then install the inner door fuzzy and the door panel
