hi all. i have a bit of a modified 75.... 13b rotary, 911 front end, scraped and filled, camera-monitor system in place of rear views and i am now stumped.... silly i know. after re-upholstering the door panels i went to install the new (914rubber) door/window end caps and cannot do it. the window glass is in the way of the inside screw. do i have to drop the window assembly to install these 2 insignificant widgets? you could probably sense my frustration. this is like traveling across the pacific to finally getting to hawaii and the tide is out so you can t dock and you have to walk the last 200 yards(meters for you euros.) thanks for your help.

look doc, i m sure you are the best ever but do you really want to tell a guy who has done a full roto conversion and all that entails that "...It is easy and should take ten minutes...?" seems if it were easy i would have done it that way eh? anyway.... thanks everybody who tried to help. i just bit the bullet and dropped both window mechanisms and installed the screw. it should be mentioned that i had rebuilt the window mechs. and re-installed the windows and the entire structure was very well adjusted (re: no give in any direction) prior to looking at these end caps. dropping the window mechanisms and installing the screws took "ten minutes." i just can t believe that these things were mass produced with the end caps going in first. i would have thought that all rubber would go on last. thanks again everybody.
