Think I just had an "aha" moment. So my 70 has the early "wire" window cranks. I realized that 914 Rubber had not sent me any of the rear window track fuzzys. I called and they explained the rear fuzzys were not included in any kits and sold seperately...so I ordered them. Today I got set to insert the window so I installed and trimmed the rear fuzzy. Then I looked at the teflon slide at the lower rear of the window...no way is that going to fit/slide in the fuzzy. And I looked at the rear plastic cap at the top or the rear of the door. I think the lower teflon slide and the top plastic cap are used in lieu of the fuzzy on my car...am I correct? Ian's window video made no mention of the later cars differences other than the crank mechanism. Also, do I need to take the plastic cap off off the top of the triangle window to slide my windows into the track, as well as the plastic cap on the top rear of the door? Then after the window is inserted, both of those get re-attached. Dang it...I'm only suppsed to be making original mistakes. Anyway if someone needs a brand new set of "later fuzzys"...I have some.
     Anyway...passenger door is almost complete pending fuzzy resolution and new door panels...and the handles have been re-keyed  |

I decided to quit complaining and install the windows.
Windows are installed and waiting for door cards.   Speaking of door cards...I built out a sprinter cargo van a couple years ago. Interior of the van was covered with a plastic corrugated board. I kept it once removed thinking it would make a great door card...stiff, waterproof, and cut-able. This is removed...  And these are my new door cards waiting for vinyl   I don't like the original paper/cardboard used for panels as they invariably get wet and warp or tear. Bad idea just like using particle board to build bathroom vanities. Moisture will not affect these cards. |

Drivers door complete. This came out very clean...the plastic corrugated door card worked perfectly. On to the passenger side.
